Video: Ovulation. Ovulation is the release of an egg from one of the ovaries. It often happens about midway through the menstrual cycle, although the exact timing may vary. In preparation for ovulation, the lining of the uterus, or endometrium, thickens. The pituitary gland in the brain stimulates one of the ovaries to release an egg. The wall of the ovarian follicle ruptures at the surface of the ovary. The egg is released. Finger-like structures called fimbriae sweep the egg into the neighboring fallopian tube. The egg travels through the fallopian tube, propelled in part by contractions in the fallopian tube walls.
The rest will be reabsorbed into the ovarian tissue. About 14 days into a woman's cycle, that mature egg will be released in a process known as ovulation. After ovulation occurs, the empty follicle is known as a corpus luteum. It will produce progesterone and other hormones crucial for pregnancy for about 14 days.
