The release of the egg is known as ovulation. How does it happen? The buildup of estrogen in your follicles stimulates a surge of a third hormone, luteinizing hormone (LH).

Meanwhile, the empty follicle — now called the corpus luteum — begins to produce yet another hormone, progesterone, which prevents the release of other eggs for the duration of the cycle. The corpus luteum functions for 12 to 16
