Glossary Ovulation

release of a mature egg from an ovary

Ovulation is the process in a woman's menstrual cycle where a mature egg is released from one of the ovaries. This typically occurs around the midpoint of the cycle, about 14 days before the start of the next menstrual period, and is crucial for fertility as it is the time when the egg can be fertilized by sperm.
