Detailed explanation-1: -Leutinizing hormone (LH), the other reproductive pituitary hormone, aids in egg maturation and provides the hormonal trigger to cause ovulation and the release of eggs from the ovary.
Detailed explanation-2: -In the pituitary of people designated female at birth (DFAB), LH is released only in the second part of the menstrual cycle. That is, after an initial surge causes the release of an egg (ovulation), LH is released at a constant pace for two weeks. This stimulates ovarian progesterone production.
Detailed explanation-3: -The LH surge increases intrafollicular proteolytic enzymes, weakening the wall of the ovary and allowing for the mature follicle to pass through. The surge also causes the luteinization of thecal and granulosa cells forming the Corpus Luteum, which is responsible for progesterone synthesis levels.
Detailed explanation-4: -When the Graafian follicle (mature follicle) ruptures, it releases secondary oocyte arrested in the metaphase stage of meiotic II from the ovary by the process called ovulation. This secondary oocyte completes its meiosis II upon sperm entry.
