The menstrual cycle regulates the development and release of the ovarian follicle, as evidenced by the follicle's growth during the follicular phase [1] and its rupture during ovulation [2]. Furthermore, hormonal signals at the start of the menstrual cycle stimulate the growth of ovarian follicles [3], with the cycle's luteal phase facilitating the recruitment of follicles for the subsequent cycle [4].
