Detailed explanation-1: -For women or people AFAB who are menstruating, FSH’s main function is to help regulate the menstrual cycle. Specifically, FSH stimulates follicles on the ovary to grow and prepare the eggs for ovulation. As the follicles increase in size, they begin to release estrogen and a low level of progesterone into your blood.
Detailed explanation-2: -As this follicle grows, it produces more and more oestrogen, which stimulates a surge in luteinising hormone and follicle stimulating hormone (positive) from the pituitary gland. This rise in LH leads to the release of an egg from the follicle, termed ‘ovulation’.
Detailed explanation-3: -Follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) is named for its ability to stimulate follicle growth in females, as depicted in Fig. 1. Follicle-stimulating hormone stimulates the division and function of granulosa cells that surround and nurture the developing oocyte (egg) in the follicle.
Detailed explanation-4: -The Hypothalamus and the Pituitary It is released in a rhythmic fashion every 60 to 120 minutes. GnRH stimulates the pituitary gland to produce follicle stimulating hormone (FSH), the hormone responsible for starting follicle (egg) development and causing the level of estrogen, the primary female hormone, to rise.
