1. Ovulation

   Ovulation is the release of eggs from the ovaries. In women, this event occurs when the ovarian follicles rupture and release the secondary oocyte ovarian cells. After ovulation, during the luteal phase, the egg will be available to be fertilized by sperm. In addition, the uterine lining (endometrium) is thickened to be able to receive a fertilized egg. If no conception occurs, the uterine lining as well as the egg will be shed during menstruation.

1. ovulation

   Ovulation is a process in a female's menstrual cycle where a mature egg is released from one of the ovaries. This usually occurs around the middle of the menstrual cycle. Once the egg is released, it travels down the fallopian tube where it can be fertilized by a sperm cell. If fertilization does not occur, the egg disintegrates and is shed along with the lining of the uterus during menstruation.

Examples of ovulation in a Sentence

1. David Frederick:

   One theory is that in ancestors of humans, orgasm occurred more easily because its function was to cause ovulation to occur. This happens in many animals, once the monthly menstrual cycle began regulating ovulation, orgasm was no longer coupled with reproduction for women. This allowed ability and ease of orgasm becoming more variable in women over millions of years and is why orgasm frequency is much more variable in women than in men.

2. Foods Pregnant Women:

   Plus, things like stress can throw off ovulation, so even if you think you are scheduling everything out to the T, your body could naturally be delayed a little bit, if you have sex and take a pregnancy test a few days later, it can still come back negative. That doesn’t mean the test is not accurate or you’re not pregnant, it could mean that you’re doing it too early.

3. Lisa Dabney:

   The reason that it’s not always true is because women are only fertile a few days a month, but that window is very different from woman to woman. Some women can have a 21-day cycle and some can have a 35-day cycle, and for the woman that has one week in the luteal phase (the time between ovulation and when you have your period) if she bleeds for seven days, she’s going to start ovulating while she’s still bleeding, and sperm can live for three days, so women can get pregnant if the length of their period is long.

4. Jamie Grifo:

   If women are not ovulating, it's a relatively simple fix, you can usually fix it with oral meds that induce ovulation. There are also injectable forms. If that's the only problem, it's a very effective form of treatment.

5. Alyssa Dweck:

   The Pill prevents ovulation by changing your levels of estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone.
