Q

Ovulation

A

Ovum released, day 14 of cycle
Ovulation caused by LH Surge

Q

Female Hormone Cycle

A 
(Estrogen dominant from days 1-14)
Days 1-5 - Menstrual bleeding (lining of uterus)
Days 6-12 - FSH from anterior pituitary
                  - Follicle matures
                  - Estradiol matures 
Days 13-14 - LH peaks; ovulation occurs

Days 15 - 28 - Progesterone peaks; Uterine lining prepares for implantation

Q

Hormones Need To Know:

  • GnRH
  • FSH
  • LH
  • Estrogen
  • Progesterone
A

Source: Action

  • Hypothalamus: Stimulates FSH and LH
  • Pituitary: Stimulates ovaries to produce mature follicles; Follicles produce increased levels of estrogen
  • Pituitary: Surge of LH stimulates follicle to break open and discharge ovum and follicular fluid (contains estrogen)
  • Ovary (developing follicle): Causes rapid growth of endometrium of uterus
  • Ovary (corpus luteum): Causes endometrium to become thick, spongy, glandular and receptive to fertilized ovum (zygote)
