What actually causes ovulation? And what is an LH-Surge?

Ovulation Calculator: Ovulation
By definition, ovulation is the process of an ovary releasing an egg from the follicle - permitting the egg to float down the fallopian tubes. Directly prior to ovulation, a dramatic hormonal change takes place - the LH Surge. LH (or Luteinizing Hormone) is the hormone that actually facilitates ovulation: it causes the egg to separate from the ovarian surface. Ovulation predictor tests function by detecting this LH Surge, thus alerting the woman that ovulation is imminent.

What if I experience a BBT thermal shift but the ovulation tests failed to detect my LH Surge?

Ovulation Testing: Ovulation Predictor Kit
It is possible to miss the surge. If you have a test line that is fairly dark one day then very light the next, you may have missed the actual surge. If your thermal shift occurs, you probably ovulated. It may be a good idea to test twice a day when you feel that you are close to ovulating. Another possibility is that you didn't hold your urine long enough (resulting in a diluted sample).

CycleBeads - Frequently Asked Questions
Ovulation is the release of an egg by the woman's ovary. In almost every menstrual cycle, the woman's ovary releases an egg. There are thousands of eggs inside the woman's ovaries. The natural chemicals in her body trigger the development of one of these eggs every cycle. When the egg is ready to be fertilized, it comes out of the ovary and travels down the woman's tubes to her uterus. If the man's sperm has fertilized it, the egg can attach itself to the uterus and the woman is pregnant.

Ovulation is the process of an ovary releasing an egg from the follicle, permitting the egg to float down the fallopian tubes. Conception, or fertilization, occurs when the male's sperm meets with the woman's ovum (egg) and successfully penetrates it, typically in a fallopian tube. Then the fertilized egg travels to the uterus and implants in the uterine lining. For pregnancy to take place, fertilization of the egg must be followed by a successful implantation.

Many doctors will want to see two cycles of low progesterone or out of phase biopsies before making a definite luteal phase defect diagnosis.

After the completion rig is finished, frac trucks arrive for the fracturing process which takes an additional 4 to 6 days. Finally, a wellhead (or “Christmas tree”) is installed along with a few storage tanks.
