Human oocytes mature immediately after the surge of LH which occurs at ovulation. The surge of LH causes maturation of the oocyte which is the completion of the first division of meiosis.
a mature human egg is called an ova
An ova typically takes around 10-14 days to mature in the ovary before being released during ovulation.

ovaries
a mature human egg is called an ova
Ova (eggs) mature in the ovaries of the female reproductive system. During the menstrual cycle, one egg is released from an ovary each month in a process called ovulation.
Ova are found inside the ovaries of female animals, including humans. The ovaries are responsible for producing and releasing mature ova, or eggs, which are necessary for reproduction.
ostecyte
Mature ova are produced through a process called oogenesis, which occurs in the ovaries of females. During oogenesis, oogonia (immature egg cells) undergo a series of cell divisions and maturation stages to become mature ovum, which are capable of being fertilized by sperm. This process involves meiosis, where the number of chromosomes is reduced by half, resulting in the formation of a single haploid ovum.
Mostly is one ova, sometimes in rare cases, more than one ova can mature and be released from the ovaries, and if the woman becomes pregnant at that time, non-identical twins or multiple pregnancies can occur
While a man continues making new sperm his entire life, a woman is born with all the ova she will ever have. Each cycle several ova are incapsulated in follicles - the first one to mature or ripen will burst from the follicle - this is called ovulation.
Ova are formed through a process called oogenesis, which begins with the development of oogonia (early ova) in the ovaries. Oogonia undergo mitotic division to produce primary oocytes, which then undergo meiosis to form secondary oocytes. These secondary oocytes are released during ovulation and, if fertilized, develop into mature ova.
