Ovulation stimulation
What is ovulation?
Ovulation, the process by which an egg develops inside the ovary and is released, normally takes place approximately once a month throughout the menstrual cycle. Ovulation is controlled by a complicated interaction of many hormones secreted by the pituitary gland. One of the main hormones is follicle-stimulating hormone, which activates a certain number of follicles inside the ovary. Even now, one of those follicles is continuing to develop.
A rise in luteinizing hormone (LH), which is also produced by the pituitary, instructs the developing egg to leave the follicle and travel down the fallopian tube, where it is fertilized by sperm.
