Luteal Phase
Understanding what happens after you ovulate
After you ovulate, you begin the second half of your fertility cycle known as your luteal phase. During the first half of your cycle, Follicle Stimulating Hormone (FSH) is produced. FSH signals your body to start the process of maturing eggs for ovulation. The eggs are contained inside a follicle where they will grow and mature until ovulation occurs. As the eggs grow the follicles enlarge and produce estrogen. High levels of estrogen in your body triggers a release of LH, Luteinizing Hormone. This is also known as an LH surge. When this happens it causes the mature egg to burst from the follicle. This is called ovulation. Normally, only one egg will be large enough to burst through the follicle during ovulation. After you ovulate, you begin what is known as your Luteal Phase (the second half of your cycle).

BBT charting is the best way to find out how long your luteal phase is. You can also use an ovualation prediction kit to confirm ovulation. You will want to keep a chart even if you use an ovulation kit. By charting you can tell when you ovulated and have an accurate record to show your doctor.

Luteal phase is the time in between when you ovulate and when your next period starts.  Everyone's luteal phase is different, but they typically last from 10 to 16 days with the average being 14 days.  Like the other post said, the best way to figure yours out is to start BBT (basal body temperature) charting.  Are you familiar with this?  You use a BBT thermometer and take your temp every day before getting out of bed.  Once you do it for a cycle or two, you should notice a pattern.  After you O, your temps will increase and that would be considered the first day of your luteal phase.  Medhelp even has an ovulation tracker tool that will create the chart for you.  Good luck to you!  :)
