In the beginning of the menstrual cycle, LH and FSH stimulate the ovaries to make estrogen. During this time, there is a negative feedback loop, so levels of all three hormones are rather low. Eventually, as the estrogen levels slowly creep up, there comes a time when it switches from negative feedback to positive feedback (not exactly sure what the biochemical basis of this is), and LH and FSH levels skyrocket (estrogen levels go up to, but not as sharply, and there is always more LH than FSH). The LH surge causes ovulaton. The corpus luteum starts secreting progesterone, which inhibits LH and FSH secretion in a negative feedback manner, and so FSH and LH levels drop sharply.
There are many hormones which stimulate activity in the ovaries.The two main ones are FSH (follicle-stimulating hormone) and LH (luteinizing hormone). FSH triggers the growth of an ovum, and LH is involved in causing ovulation (the release of the ovum/egg).
Follicle-Stimulating Hormone (FSH)The anterior pituitary gland is controlled via portal system of veins from the Hypothalamus. Directly the Hypothalamus secretes GnRH (gonadtropin releasing hormone) to the anterior pituitary gland to stimulate the release of the gonadtropins FSH (follicle stimulating hormone) and LH (lutenizing hormone). Testosterone is a male sex hormone that is synthesized by cells stimulated by LH & FSH
Luteinizing hormone (LH) and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) are the two pituitary hormones that control ovulation and the production of female hormones by the ovaries. LH surge triggers ovulation, while FSH is crucial for the development of ovarian follicles and the production of estrogen.
GnRH (Gonadotropin-Releasing Hormone) directly stimulates the release of luteinizing hormone (LH) and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) from the anterior pituitary gland. These hormones play a crucial role in regulating the reproductive system, including the production of sex hormones such as estrogen and testosterone.
FSH and LH are released by the hypothalamus in response to gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) stimulation. GnRH is released in pulses into the bloodstream, which then triggers the release of FSH and LH from the pituitary gland. These hormones play a key role in regulating the reproductive system and stimulating the production of sex hormones in both males and females.
In PCOS patient there is Elevated level of LH where dr cannot use HMG, coz HMG has FSH and LH in 1:1 ratio. AS LH levels r high in PCOS patient no need to give LH. so in those patient Dr's can use on FSH for follicular growth.

Contraceptives can lower levels of FSH and LH in the body, which can prevent ovulation and reduce the chances of pregnancy.
An LH FSH chart can provide information about the levels of luteinizing hormone (LH) and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) in the body. These hormones play a key role in regulating the menstrual cycle and fertility. By analyzing the levels of LH and FSH over time, healthcare providers can assess hormone balance, ovulation, and potential reproductive issues.
LH and FSH are hormones that play a crucial role in the menstrual cycle. FSH stimulates the growth of follicles in the ovaries, which contain eggs. LH triggers ovulation, the release of the egg from the follicle. The levels of LH and FSH fluctuate throughout the menstrual cycle, with peaks in LH triggering ovulation. Imbalances in these hormone levels can lead to irregularities in the menstrual cycle, such as missed periods or difficulty conceiving.
