The phase of the estrous cycle in female mammals that immediately follows estrus, marked by ovulation and the early development of the corpus luteum; during this stage the female is no longer sexually receptive.
During metestrus, the newly formed corpus luteum begins secreting progesterone in preparation for a possible pregnancy.
