Nucleus Medical Media・2 minutes read
Ovulation is a key stage in the menstrual cycle, involving the release of a mature egg triggered by luteinizing hormone around day 14, followed by transportation through the fallopian tube for potential fertilization within 12-24 hours.
Insights
- Ovulation occurs around day 14 of a 28-day menstrual cycle when the ovary releases a mature egg, marking a critical phase for potential conception.
- After ovulation, the egg is swiftly transported from the ovary to the uterus through the fallopian tube, where it must be fertilized within a narrow timeframe of 12-24 hours to have a chance of resulting in pregnancy.
