    FSH levels in this time is often called basal FSH levels, to distinguish from the increased levels when approaching ovulation. [17] FSH is measured in international units (IU). For Human Urinary FSH, one IU is defined as the amount of FSH that has an activity corresponding to 0.11388 mg of pure Human Urinary FSH. [18]

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Follicular_phase

    Due to the increase of FSH, the protein inhibin B will be secreted by the granulosa cells. Inhibin B will eventually blunt the secretion of FSH toward the end of the follicular phase. Inhibin B levels will be highest during the LH surge before ovulation and will quickly decrease after. [1]

  4. Menstrual cycle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Menstrual_cycle

    Menstrual cycle The menstrual cycle is a series of natural changes in hormone production and the structures of the uterus and ovaries of the female reproductive system that makes pregnancy possible. The ovarian cycle controls the production and release of eggs and the cyclic release of estrogen and progesterone. The uterine cycle governs the preparation and maintenance of the lining of the ...

  5. Luteal phase - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Luteal_phase

    The luteal phase is characterized by changes to hormone levels, such as an increase in progesterone and estrogen levels, decrease in gonadotropins such as follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinizing hormone (LH), changes to the endometrial lining to promote implantation of the fertilized egg, and development of the corpus luteum. In the ...

  6. Ovulation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ovulation

    Estrogen levels peak towards the end of the follicular phase, around 12 and 24 hours. This, by positive feedback, causes a surge in levels of luteinizing hormone (LH) and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH). This lasts from 24 to 36 hours, and results in the rupture of the ovarian follicles, causing the oocyte to be released from the ovary. [17]

    If you see spotting the week before your period typically comes but then don’t get a full-fledged period soon after, you should consider taking a pregnancy test. 3. You have a hormone imbalance.

  8. Folliculogenesis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Folliculogenesis

    The supply of follicles decreases slightly before birth, and to 500,000 by puberty for the average case (populations at puberty range from 25,000 to 1.5 million). [4] By virtue of the "inefficient" nature of folliculogenesis (discussed later), only 400–500 of these follicles will ever reach the preovulatory stage.

  9. Hypothalamic–pituitary–gonadal axis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypothalamic–pituitary...

    This elevation in FSH is important for the recruitment of a new cohort of ovarian follicles in the subsequent cycle. [15] After menstruation begins, FSH levels decrease due to estrogen's negative feedback and inhibin B produced by the developing follicle. FSH stimulates aromatase activity in granulosa cells, converting androgens to estrogen.
