The hypothalamus in the brain releases Gonadotropin-Releasing Hormone to the pituitary gland, located in your brain behind the eyes. The pituitary gland releases Follicle-Stimulating Hormone (FSH) and Luteinizing Hormone (LH), which go to the ovaries. FSH stimulates the selection of an egg from the ovary, and a surge of LH release stimulates the release of the egg for fertilzation. In the ovary, Theca cells release Testosterone which travels to nearby Granulosa cells which convert the testosterone to estrogen. Theca cells also make progesterone, which is necessary for growing the endometrium, which is what bleeds during the menstrual cycle.
