• The Proestrus Stage — Getting Ready

Lasting around 9 days, this first stage is marked by the eggs in the ovaries beginning to mature and the oestrogen levels start rising.

• The Oestrus​ Stage — Mating

Oestrus is the next stage, also lasting around 9 days, where eggs are released from ovaries and the oestrogen levels decline while progesterone levels rise.

• The Diestrus Stage — Pregnancy (or not)

This third stage is the period following mating, it commonly lasts 58 to 63 days in a pregnant female, and 60 to 90 days in a non-pregnant female. Pregnancy can be confirmed with a ultrasound. Progesterone is dominating and the female will refuse a male’s advances during this stage.
