Introducing Ovulate

Executive summary about ovulate by Harry Rockwell

Ovulation is the process of discharging a mature ovum (egg) from an ovary after a Graafian follicle - representing the final stage of follicular development before ovulation - has been formed.

In humans, ovulation happens approximately 14 days before the start of the next menstrual cycle. The timing of ovulation depends on the length of the woman's menstrual cycle, hence a woman with a particularly short cycle will ovulate earlier while a woman with a long cycle will ovulate much later. Some women can feel a slight pain in their lower abdomen, known as Mittelschmerz or "intermenstrual pain".

The spindle apparatus of the second meiotic division appears at the time of ovulate. If no fertilization occurs, the oocyte will degenerate approximately 24 hours after ovulation.
Recent research suggests that in some women, ovulation may occur more than once during each menstrual cycle, making it difficult for a woman to be aware of exactly when she is fertile.

Ovulation Bleeding
Executive summary about ovulating by Elizabeth Morgan

Ovulation Bleeding is different from menstrual flow. A clinical examination with an ultrasound image of pelvic organs can confirm the cause of Ovulation Bleeding.

Severe or long-lasting bleeding during ovulation is sometimes symptomatic of certain gynecological conditions, including endometriosis. Also if bleeding is heavy during ovulation or lasts longer than 3 days then take medical advice.

Women with regular menstrual bleeding can differentiate between Ovulation Bleeding and the menstrual period. A physical examination of the uterus helps detect causes of abnormal bleeding. If Ovulation Bleeding is accompanied by pain or acute discomfiture, then start worrying.

Ovulation Cycles

The Ovulation Cycle begins with the secretion of two hormones by the pituitary gland situated in the brain. Production of follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinizing hormone (LH) is controlled by an area of brain called the hypothalamus. It is a well-set machine, sending signals to the ovaries to prepare release of eggs ensconced in individual follicles. The follicle then forms into a cyst, corpus luteum, responsible for producing progesterone to nurture a fertilized egg.

This stage signals PMS symptoms such as breast soreness, moodiness and water retention. If somehow the ovary does not receive the signal it stops generating progesterone 9 to 11 days after ovulation, causing shedding of uterine lining, or menstruation, and is the start of another Ovulation Cycle.

The crucial difference in individual Ovulation Cycles is how women accept this most fertile period of the cycle. It is a possibility that an Ovulation Cycle can occur without ovulating.
