Ok,
ovulation usually happens around the 14th
day of a normal 28 day menstural cycle.
Before ovulation what happens is a hormone
is produced which is a follicle
stimulating horomnoe (fsh) which promotes
growth of the follicle (egg sac) and helps
to stimulate the ovaries to produce
estrogen which builds up the lining of the
uterus. At day 14(ovulation day) a mature
ovum (egg) bursts out of the follicle into
the ovduct (fallopian tubes) (conception
usually takes place in the upper 1/3rd of
the ovduct) if a little sperm does not get
to it , it is flushed out of the body when
your period comes.
In easier terms ovulation is when an egg
is released!
But then again I have read studies where
they believe ovulation happens many times
throughout the menstural cycle.
