claimThe follicular phase is primarily characterized by the rise of follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and estrogen to develop an egg, whereas the luteal phase is characterized by the rise of progesterone to prepare for pregnancy.

claimThe rise in estrogen during the follicular phase is stimulated by follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) produced by the pituitary gland, and this estrogen promotes the growth of the uterine lining in preparation for pregnancy.

claimAs estrogen levels rise during the follicular phase, the hormone acts as a switch to turn off the production of follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), limiting the number of follicles that prepare eggs for release.

procedureDuring the follicular phase of the menstrual cycle, the brain releases follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinizing hormone (LH), which travel through the blood to the ovaries to stimulate the growth of 15 to 20 eggs, each contained within a follicle.
