cycle

Ovulation happens when the mature egg is ejected from the ovary. The time of the menstrual cycle and ovulation is one of the most important things a woman should understand about her body since it is the determining factor in getting pregnant and preventing pregnancy.

The first half of the fertility cycle is when the follicle stimulating hormone stimulates maturation of an egg. As the egg is maturing, estrogen levels rise causing the luteinizing hormone to increase. The luteinizing hormone forces the egg out of the follicle where maturation occurs.

The "Fertile Window" has been defined as the days of the menstrual cycle during which intercourse is most likely to result in pregnancy.

OPKs or ovulation predictor kits are tests that can be used to help you determine if and when you are ovulating. They work by detecting the level of gluteinizing hormone (LH) in your urine.
