post-ovulation

Following egg release

Post-ovulation refers to the phase of the menstrual cycle after an egg has been released from the ovary.

This luteal phase typically lasts about two weeks, during which the uterine lining thickens in preparation for potential pregnancy: post-ovulation symptoms, post-ovulation fertility window.

The term appears primarily in medical and fertility contexts.
