Ovulation

Ovulation is the release of a mature egg from the ovary, usually about 14 days before your next period.

A surge in luteinizing hormone (LH) triggers it. The egg survives around 24 hours, while sperm can live several days, which creates the fertile window.

Ovulation marks the switch from the follicular to the luteal phase.
