  1. diestrus

    Diestrus is a phase in the reproductive cycle of female mammals, characterized by reduced sexual activity and hormone levels after ovulation. In species with multiple estrus cycles within one breeding season, this phase typically marks the period of sexual inactivity between cycles. It contrasts with the estrus phase, when females are sexually receptive, or "in heat." In pregnant animals, diestrus continues throughout the entire gestation period.
