What are the normal ovulation cycles for women?

Ovulation period is too long

Ovulation is a rather complex physiological process. All links in the reproductive endocrine axis must be in a normal state. If there is a problem in any link, the result will be that the follicles cannot be discharged normally. The hormonal environment of the mature follicle itself is also very important for ovulation. For example, an imbalance in the ratio of estrogen to androgen in the follicular fluid may lead to follicular atresia. Existing research data show that elevated prolactin can lead to abnormal ovulation, indicating the important influence of endocrine factors on ovulation.

How long does the follicular phase usually last?

Generally, the follicular phase is from the first day of menstruation to the maturity of the follicle, which takes 10 to 14 days; ovulation begins about 14 days before the next menstruation; the luteal phase is from ovulation to menstruation, which is generally 14 days, so the luteal phase and ovulation phase overlap!

There are many examinations during the follicular phase. Sex hormones, ovulation monitoring, hysterosalpingography, etc. are all done during the follicular phase!
