Ovulation Happens Naturally, The Power of the LH Surge – Fertility Plus

Fertility Plus shared a post on LinkedIn:

“Ovulation Happens Naturally: The Power of the LH Surge
Ovulation is a natural process driven by your body’s own hormones — it does not always require a trigger injection

  • As the dominant follicle grows (around 20–25 mm), it produces increasing levels of estrogen
  • High estrogen signals the brain, leading to a sharp LH (luteinizing hormone) surge
  • The LH surge is the key event that triggers ovulation

LH surge causes final maturation of the egg

  • Granulosa cells begin luteinization (preparing for progesterone production)
  • Enzymes and prostaglandins weaken the follicular wall

A weak point (called the stigma) forms on the follicle surface

  • The follicle ruptures at this point
  • The egg (oocyte–cumulus complex) is released into the pelvis

This process happens naturally — known as an endogenous LH surge

  • In many letrozole cycles, ovulation occurs without any trigger injection

This supports a more physiological cycle

  • Reduces unnecessary medication
  • Allows the body to follow its natural timing

Ovulation isn’t forced — it’s triggered by your body at the right moment.”
