|
|
The ovulation is defined as the rupture of the ovarian follicle and the release of an egg cell into the fallopian tube.
|
|
There, the egg cell can be fertilized by sperm cells and develop into an embryo\cite{holesh_physiology_2025}.
|
|
This is accompanied by changes in the fluxing gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH), luteinizing hormone (LH),
|
|
and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) levels in the blood.
|
|
Additionally, the basal body temperature (BBT) rises by about 0.5 degrees Celsius after ovulation.
