No new follicles develop in the luteal phase of the menstrual cycle because both FSH and LH levels are low in the luteal phase. Osterogen and progesterone are on high during the luteal phase. The concentration of FSH and LH increases progressively during the proliferative/follicular phase which aid in growth of the folliclw from primary to mature Graafian follicles.
