Ovulation depends on a delicate balance of hormones. In order for ovarian follicles to begin developing into mature ova, follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) must be released from the pituitary gland.
When a woman is pregnant, a hormone released by the corpus luteum or the placenta called progesterone prevents FSH release from the pituitary, so no further follicles are stimulated to mature, so no eggs are released.
