 Journey of the Egg

Journey to ovulation begins during the late phase of prior menstrual cycle, when certain 2-5mm sized healthy follicles form a population from which dominant follicles is to be selected for the next cycle. This process is called Recruitment.

During day 1-5 of the menstrual cycle, a second process of follicular selection begins when among all recruited follicles, certain group follicles of size 5-10mm are selected while rest of the follicle regress.

During 5-7 days a process of dominance begins when the leading follicle takes the control and suppress the rest.
