However, not everyone has a textbook 28-day cycle, so the exact timing can vary. In general, ovulation occurs in the four days before or four days after your cycle\u2019s midpoint.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What is Ovulation?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Ovulation is when a mature egg is released from the ovary, pushed down the fallopian tube, and is made available to be fertilized. Approximately every month an egg will mature within one of your ovaries. As it reaches maturity, the egg is released by the ovary where it enters the fallopian tube to make its way towards waiting for sperm and the uterus.\u00a0The lining of the uterus has thickened to prepare for the fertilized egg. If no conception occurs, the uterine lining, as well as blood, will be shed.<\/p>\n<p>The shedding of an unfertilized egg and the uterine wall is the time of menstruation.<\/p>\n<p><strong>How long does Ovulation last for?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The process of ovulation begins with your body\u2019s release of follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), typically between days 6 and 14 of your menstrual cycle. This hormone helps the egg inside your ovary to mature in preparation to release the egg later.<\/p>\n<p>Once the egg is mature, your body releases a surge of luteinizing hormone (LH), triggering the egg\u2019s release. Ovulation may happen in the 28 to 36 hours after the LH surge.<\/p>\n<p>Check <a href=\"https:\/\/babymigo.com\/knowledge\/kb\/how-can-i-predict-ovulation\/\">here<\/a> to find out how to track your Ovulation cycle.<\/p>\n<h2>References<\/h2>\n<ol>\n<li>Healthline. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.healthline.com\/health\/womens-health\/what-is-ovulation#ovulation-tracker\">What is ovulation<\/a>?
