Theory 30/Menstrual cycle/Termination phase

Termination Is Luteolysis

The claim

The cycle ends when luteolysis reduces progesterone below a threshold relative to endometrial support, so the end is a ratio rather than a time.

01Mechanism

Withdrawal of progesterone triggers shedding; the ratio sets the threshold.

02Prediction

Termination should track the ratio.

03Refutation

Termination tracking cycle day would remove luteolysis.
