Human Menstrual Cycle Hormonal Overview

Diagram showing hormonal changes during the human menstrual cycle (even more smoothed versions are shown in simplified diagrams).

Ovulation occurs around the time of leutenizing hormone surge mid-cycle.
There is great variability in human menstrual cycle length.
There are age dependent changes.
Not shown are the Inhibin A and Inhibin B levels.

Legend

FSH - follicle stimulating hormone (from anterior pituitary)
GnRH - gonadotrophin releasing hormone (from hypothalamus)
LH - leutenizing hormone (from anterior pituitary)

References

The pituitary and ovarian hormone curves are based upon Greenspan's Endocrinology, where the actual levels have been measured.
The body temperature curve is based upon Sex differences and reproductive hormone influences on human odor perception. Doty RL, Cameron EL. Physiol Behav. 2009 May 25;97(2):213-28. Epub 2009 Mar 9. Review. Erratum in: Physiol Behav. 2009 Oct 19;98(4):517. PMID: 19272398
