Regeneration cycle (The Christmas Invasion)

The regeneration cycle was the time during which the process of regeneration occured.

The newly regenerated Tenth Doctor credited the manifestation of a new hand to replace the one severed by Fadros Pallujikaa to having still been within the first fifteen hours of his regeneration cycle, which provided him with "just enough" residual cellular energy to regrow his severed limb.

"Regeneration cycle" was also used by the Eleventh Doctor to refer to the new life cycle that the Time Lords had granted him. (TV: The Time of the Doctor)
