The Biology Of My Cycle
Women are born with a finite supply of eggs and at puberty start releasing one a month. A small gland? at the base of the brain, the pituitary, regulates the release of the secreting hormones (FSH? and LH) at the right time and in the correct concentration in order to induce ovulation.
The biology of my cycle
Each woman’s individual ovulation time depends on many factors and is sometimes quite difficult to identify. For an average cycle of 28 days, ovulation is expected to occur between days 11 and 16 (day 1 being the first day of the period). Once released, an egg travels along the Fallopian tubes?, where, if intercourse happens at the right time, it will meet the sperm?. It’s all about timing!

After the release of the egg, an ovarian follicle? will start secreting progesterone in order to stimulate the formation of a welcoming environment in the womb? for the implantation? of the fertilised egg. Progesterone increases your body basal temperature, which means that in using DuoFertility, you will be able to detect exactly when ovulation occurs. If the egg isn’t fertilised, the progesterone level drops and the lining of the womb breaks down (start of the period).
