Ovulation
The process whereby a Graafian follicle ruptures and releases a mature oocyte from the ovary.
Full article >>>

Ovulation occurs about two weeks after the onset of menstruation. In response to a sudden surge of LH, the follicle ruptures and discharges a secondary oocyte. This is swept into the open end of the fallopian tube and begins to move slowly down it.
