Summary Introduction
To review:
The level of various hormones during ovulation.Â
Introduction:
The menstrual cycle is comprised of four phases that include menstrual phase, follicular phase, luteal phase and ovulation phase. The egg or ovum is released from the ovary which then travels through the fallopian or uterine tube and enters the uterus. In case, when fertilization occurs, the embryo formed as a result gets implanted in the endometrial lining of the uterus.
