What is Ovulation?
Ovulation is when one or more eggs are released by the ovary resulting in the fertile time of the menstrual cycle.
This typically occurs once a month. Many eggs attempt to mature inside the ovary each month and the dominant follicle (cystic structure), usually the largest, grows and ruptures to expel an egg into the pelvic cavity.
The fallopian tube with its finger-like ends called the fimbria then sweeps the egg inside of it to travel towards the uterus.
Which ovary releases the egg varies and is unpredictable.
There is no set rotation of the ovaries.
