What is Ovulation ?
Answers
Answer:
When a girl child is born, her ovaries already contain thousands of immature ova (or eggs) which are contained in immature follicles. At the age of puberty, one follicle develops into a mature ovum (or egg). It pinches off from the surface of the ovary and enters the fallopian tube. This process is termed as ovulation.
Answer:
Ovulation is the release of an egg from one of a woman's ovaries. After the egg is released, it travels down the fallopian tube, where fertilization by a sperm cell may occur.
Ovulation typically lasts one day and occurs in the middle of a woman's menstrual cycle, about two weeks before she expects to get her period. But the timing of the process varies for each woman, and it may even vary from month to month.
If a woman is hoping to become pregnant, she will want to keep track of when she may be ovulating. Knowing when a woman is ovulating each month is helpful because she is the most fertile — or able to become pregnant —around the time of ovulation.
A couple will be more likely to conceive if they have sex a day or two before a woman ovulates and the day of ovulation, according to the March of Dimes.
