ntr: How do you pronounce "Luteal"

Rah

okay I know it's a dumb question but I think I may say it wrong and I have to address my short luteal phase with my doc and want to sound somewhat knowledgeable about my cycles! lol

will someone kindly phonetically spell this for me?

I pronounce it loo-tee-al.  But now I'm second guessing myself.

I always thought it was lou`-tee-uhl (with the t as a less t sound) if that makes any sense?

LOO - TEAL (someone here at work is named that)

Rah

so it sounds like I say it like the rest of you - it sounds like it has 3 syllables, right?

LittleMs.Wifey

Accordian to Merriam-Webster, yes 3 syllables

Well, in uni my profs said lu-TEA-ul.  (Major was Anatomy and Cell Bio.)  They're the experts...  but then again they're all men so perhaps we should have more of a say in how we pronounce 'our' words.
