Ovulation occurs when high levels of luteinizing hormone (LH) cause the release of the ovum from the graafian follicle. The endometrial lining begins to regenerate under the influence of estrogen. The cervical mucus becomes clearer, thinner, and threadlike. The basal body temperature rises. Ovulation does not cause pain in the vulva; however, it is normal to feel low abdominal or flank pain when the ovum is released during ovulation. Spotting may be present after ovulation. Menstrual flow occurs after ovulation when implantation of an ovum does not occur.
