You are in Member Communities . Provera is a brand of prog. Here's a real brief explanation of the hormones and how they affect the body. The follicles that hold the eggs will start to grow and produce estrogen which is a very necessary hormone for ovulation to occur.
Ovulation is the actual process of one ovary releasing an egg from the most dominant follicle.
The time it takes to ovulate is approximately two weeks from the first day of your monthly cycle but will vary from woman to woman and even within your own cycles due to your body waiting until you have reached a sufficient level of estrogen. The other eggs will eventually ripen and disintegrate. The egg then ventures into the pelvic cavity and what happens next will decide if conception will occur. If the egg is not picked up and drawn into the fallopian tubes no pregnancy will take place. The follicle that held the egg will collapse on itself becoming a corpus luteum.
