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.”
