Table 1 shows the concentration of progesterone in a woman's blood at different stages of a standard 28-day menstrual cycle.
| Stage of the cycle (days) | Average progesterone concentration (nmol/dm³) |
|---|---|
| Days 1–13 | 1.2 |
| Day 14 | 1.5 |
| Days 15–22 | 34.6 |
| Days 23–28 | 9.8 |
Explain why the concentration of progesterone changes significantly after day 14.
