• ProgesteroneRelated: It precedes the corpus luteum’s progesterone secretion.

• Emergency contraceptionRelated: Oral emergency contraception primarily works by delaying ovulation before an egg is released.

• Luteinizing hormoneRelated: LH initiates follicle rupture and release of the oocyte.

• Gestational ageRelated: It typically occurs about two weeks after the date used to start gestational age.

• OogenesisRelated: Ovulation releases the oocyte after hormonal signals resume its meiotic progression.

• OocyteRelated: Ovulation makes the oocyte available for possible fertilization.

• ProgestinRelated: Some progestin regimens suppress ovulation, one route to contraceptive action.

• AnovulationCompared with: It is the reproductive event absent in anovulatory cycles.

• Female reproductive systemBroader topic: Ovulation makes an ovum available for fertilization.

• Luteal phaseRelated: It marks the transition from the follicular phase into the luteal phase.

• Oral contraceptive pillRelated: Suppressing ovulation is the main contraceptive action of combined pills.

• Premenstrual syndromeRelated: Symptoms commonly arise after ovulation rather than throughout the cycle.

• Contraceptive implantRelated: The implant primarily prevents pregnancy by suppressing ovulation.
