Pregunta
Why does it make sense that estrogen carries out a negative feedback loop on the anterior pituitary hormones during the luteal phase?

because the ovaries need to prepare another egg to be released the following month
-
because the uterus is preparing for pregnancy and in doing so requires high levels of FSH and LH
