Hypothalamus produces Gonadotropic Releasing Hormone( GnRH)
GnRH
from Hypothalamus, signals anterior pituary gland to secrete gonadotropins (FSH and LH)
FSH
stimulate follicle growth
Theca cells(inside follicles) produce estrogen
Estrogen
from Theca Cells inside Ovarian Follicles; stimulate endometrial growth
LH
muturation of follicle; Progesterone peaks after ovulation
Corpus Luteal
hCG secrets progesterone to prevent endo shedding; w/out inplantation-progesterine decreases and sloughing of uterus lining
Follicular Phase
FSH
estrogen
>11mm follicle
Ovulation
Day 14
LH
Progesterone surges after
Possible free fluid in
post cul de sac
