Q There is a mid-cycle shift in the basal body temperature (BBT) after ovulation in women. This is caused by:
A. FSH-peak
B. LH-peak
C. Oestradiol
D. Progesterone
Explanation
Ans: d. Progesterone
The cause of the temperature change at the time of ovulation is probably the increase in progesterone secretion, since progesterone is thermogenic.
