What Is Ovulation?

Ovulation is when your ovary releases a mature egg, making it ready for fertilization. It also impacts how you feel emotionally, your energy levels, and even your skin.

Menstrual Cycle Phases

Your cycle has four distinct phases:

1. Menstrual Phase (Days 1-5)

Your body sheds the uterine lining.

2. Follicular Phase (Days 1-13)

Estrogen levels rise and your body prepares to release an egg.

Ovulation usually happens around day 14 in a 28-day cycle.

4. Luteal Phase (Days 15-28)

Hormone levels drop and your next period begins.
