Ovulation serves as a key physiological marker that coordinates the ovarian cycle with the uterine cycle, as the uterus prepares its lining for potential implantation during the phases leading up to and following ovulation [1], [2], and [3]. Furthermore, the hormonal signaling cascade that triggers ovulation is intrinsically linked to the cyclical changes occurring within the uterus [4].

procedureThe menstrual cycle proceeds in five steps: (1) The pituitary gland produces FSH, which signals the ovaries to produce estrogen. (2) When estrogen reaches a specific level for a set duration, the pituitary gland produces LH. (3) LH triggers ovulation, causing the ovary to release an egg into the fallopian tube. (4) The ovary produces progesterone to prepare the uterus for pregnancy. (5) If conception does not occur, hormone levels drop, the menstrual lining stops developing, and the lining is shed as a menstrual period.
