Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]

During which phase of the menstrual cycle, do hormones stimulate the growth of about 15-20 eggs in the ovaries and increase estrogen production?

A	Follicular
B	Ovulatory
C	Luteal
D	None of the above

Explanation:

Detailed explanation-1: -During the follicular phase of your menstrual cycle, around 11 to 20 eggs begin developing, but only one matures completely. Hormones in your brain and your ovaries regulate the changes in your body that make this process possible. Your pituitary gland releases follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH).

Detailed explanation-2: -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.

Detailed explanation-3: -The luteal phase happens in the second part of your menstrual cycle. It begins around day 15 of a 28-day cycle and ends when you get your period. The luteal phase prepares your uterus for pregnancy by thickening your uterine lining.
