Cornell researchers have discovered a new cell signaling pathway involved in ovulation, a potential target for future research on infertility, contraception and ovarian disease.

Ovulation pain itself isn't dangerous and doesn't cause physical health complications, says Madeline Stark, MD, an obstetrician-gynecologist at Rush University Medical Center in Chicago. [1] ...

Your sex drive often fluctuates depending on what part of the cycle you're in. Due to the rise in hormones during ovulation, it's normal to experience more sexual desire. Here's why.

Ovulation, which occurs when an egg leaves a follicle in the ovary, has always been difficult to observe. Until now, researchers could only study this process through sample analyses, often after the ...

Ovulation is the release of an egg from the ovaries. A woman is born with all her eggs and once she starts her periods, one egg develops and is released during each menstrual cycle.

Five tested at-home ovulation predictor kits had high accuracy and performed similarly despite wide price differences between kits, according to study findings published in Fertility and Sterility ...

They showed that ovulation occurs in three distinct phases. First, the largest and most mature follicle in the ovary expands in size — growing about 1.5-fold — over the course of eight hours.

Approximately 400 times in a woman's life, a mature egg makes the “leap.” It is released into the fallopian tube, ready for fertilization by the sperm. Researchers led by Melina Schuh, Christopher ...

In the contraction phase, the follicle shrinks, which the team found was controlled by smooth muscle cells. It’s the third phase where the study really got into the finer details of ovulation ...

Ovulation pain, also known as " mittelschmerz,” is pain usually experienced on the right side of the pelvis during the ovulation phase of the menstrual cycle. In a 28-day cycle, ovulation ...
