Blossom (Phase 3) – By Evergreen Herbs

Description

Blossom Phase 3

(Blossom Phase 3) – Ovulation phase is when a mature egg called an ovum is released from the follicle out of the ovary and into to the nearest Fallopian tube. Sometimes two of these eggs can mature in a month, if both are fertilized this may result in twins. As we discussed in the follicular phase video the increase in LH triggers ovulation. The egg then travels into the uterus. If you have regular 28-day menstrual cycles, ovulation usually occurs on day 14, but most women vary in this timing so this can happen anytime 11 to 16 days before your upcoming period. Even the best quality egg only lives about 24 hours so If fertilization is gonna occur, it must happen within 24 hours of ovulation then It takes about three or four days for the egg to travel toward the uterus, and begin its implantation process.
