The<unk> , also known as the preovulatory phase or proliferative phase, is the phase of the estrous cycle (or, in primates for example, the menstrual cycle) during which<unk> licles in the ovary mature from primary<unk> licle to a fully mature graafian<unk> licle. It ends with ovulation. The main hormones controlling this stage are secretion of gonadotropin-releasing hormones, which are<unk> licle-stimulating hormones and luteinising hormones. They are released by pulsatile secretion. The duration of the<unk>  can differ depending on the length of the menstrual cycle, while the luteal phase is usually stable, does not really change and lasts 14 days.
