If there is no fertilisation the corpus luteum starts to shrink which lowers the progesterone and estrogen released. This happens after 10 days and…

fuel or help grow most breast cancers are not present in the cancer tumor. Which means that the cancer cells have tested negative for hormone growth factor receptor 2 (HER-2), estrogen receptors (ER), and progesterone receptors (PR). Hormone therapy and drugs that target estrogen, progesterone, and HER-2 but since the tumor cells lack the necessary receptors these treatments are ineffective. Chemotherapy is still a very effective way to treat triple negative…
