This happens to women who are genetically predisposed to having twins or are hyper-stimulated by hormones to bring about ovulation.

In a "normal cycle" there are multiple follicles maturing simultaneously - usually only one fully matures by the time of ovulation.

If there are 2 mature ovum the possibility of fraternal twins is high, if there are multiple mature ovum a pregnancy like Kate Gosselin (formerly of Jon and Kate Plus 8 - fame) where 7 ovum were fertilized at one insemination (one didn't develop past a few weeks) - most doctors would advise against attempting insemination due to high likely-hood of a higher order multiple pregnancy (HOM) or they would suggest selective reduction.

This was the route Kate was advised to take, which she declined for religious and personal reasons.

What hormone stimulates a follicle to grow and mature each month?

The hormone that stimulates a follicle to grow and mature each month is follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH).

As the follicles mature, they also produce estrogen, which further regulates the menstrual cycle.
