What is Ovulation

It has been seen that most of the people don’t know actually that what is ovulation. In the process of ovulation the developed or matured egg gets released from the ovary and it gets released through the vagina with the flow of blood if does not found any sperm. Ovulation is the process which is accompanied with the process of menstruation. In the process of menstruation the egg gets released which is the result of the ovulation. The egg gets developed in the ovaries of the female. Each female has two ovaries and the egg gets developed in those ovaries. If both the ovaries release one egg each then it results with a fraternal twin if each egg meets a sperm. When the egg gets developed in the ovary then it takes about 3 days to reach to the embryo. The ovulation starts between 14^th to 16^th day of the menstrual cycle generally. The knowledge about ovulation can help you to get pregnant and avoid pregnancy.

If you talk biologically there are two ovaries in the reproductive system of a woman. Each ovary contains thousands of follicles and the immature eggs are found within these follicles. There are many follicles which start to develop but in a month there is only one follicle that reaches maturity. The slight concentrated study of the reproductive system will help you to know that what is ovulation.

How the egg gets released from ovary

The follicle gets developed in the ovary of the reproductive system of a female. The level of oestrogen rises in the blood when the egg gets developed. The increasing level of oestrogen in the blood signals the pituitary gland that the eggs are matured and are ready to be released. As, a result L.H. (“the L.H. surge”) hormone is released in the high amount by the pituitary gland and it bursts the follicle and the egg gets released. A hormone named progesterone is released when the egg gets released and it a hormone which is found only in a woman. When the egg gets released and the woman has an intercourse then there is a major chance to get pregnant and thus you can also avoid pregnancy by avoiding intercourse at these times.

Finally, it could be said that ovulation and menstruation is a complex process which involves the participation of hormones, reproductive system and brain even. It is true that it is a complex process but every man and woman should have at least the basic knowledge about these processes, so that he/she could understand that what is ovulation. The knowledge of these processes will help you to get pregnant and avoid pregnancy.
