If your luteinizing hormone is positive does that mean you are pregnant?
No Luteinizing hormone is secreted as part of the monthly menstrual cycle. It triggers ovulation and allows retention of the corpus luteum. The hormone secreted during pregnancy is called human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG).
What hormone is produced during the luteal phase of the menstrual cycle?
Progesterone
What regulates the menstrual cycle?
Ovaries secrete two kind of hormones: estrogens and progestrogens. The principal estrogen secreted by the ovary is estradiol (regulates the devolpment of external sexual characteristics of females and menstrual cycle). The main progestrogen is progesterone which acts during menstrual cycle and prepares the inner revetment of uterus for pregnancy.
What gland produces the egg cells and and hormones?
The hypothalamus in the brain releases Gonadotropin-Releasing Hormone to the pituitary gland, located in your brain behind the eyes. The pituitary gland releases Follicle-Stimulating Hormone (FSH) and Luteinizing Hormone (LH), which go to the ovaries. FSH stimulates the selection of an egg from the ovary, and a surge of LH release stimulates the release of the egg for fertilzation. In the ovary, Theca cells release Testosterone which travels to nearby Granulosa cells which convert the testosterone to estrogen. Theca cells also make progesterone, which is necessary for growing the endometrium, which is what bleeds during the menstrual cycle.

When there is a surge of LH during the menstrual cycle what event occurs?
The ovulation takes place due to surge of luteinizing hormone. This hormone comes from the anterior lobe of the pituitary gland.
What hormone is produced during the luteal phase of the menstrual cycle?
Progesterone
What is LH?
(Science: chemical) a small glycoprotein hormone secreted by the anterior pituitary. Lh plays an important role in controlling ovulation and in controlling secretion of hormones by the ovaries and testes.chemical name: Luteinizing hormone
List to hormones that are releast during the menstrual cycle?
The menstrual cycle involves the interaction of hormones including follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinizing hormone (LH) which are secreted by the anterior pituitary, and steroid hormones estrogen and progesterone secreted by the granulosa cells of the ovary.
How does the pituitary gland affect the menstrual cycle?
The pituitary glan releases two hormones, Follicle-Stimulating Hormone (FSH) and Luteinizing Hormone (LH) to mature in the follicle and ovum. The Pituitary gland also releases prolactin, which stimulates uterine contractions and the production of breast milk.
The surge in luteinizing hormone that occurs during the middle of the ovarian cycle triggers?
Ovulation

Why do women get emotional during their menstrual cycle?

What body parts are involved in menstruation?
The parts of the body involved in the menstrual cycle include the brain, pituitary gland, uterus and cervix, ovaries, fallopian tubes, and vagina. Body chemicals called hormones rise and fall during the month and make the menstrual cycle happen. The ovaries make two important female hormones, estrogen and progesterone. Other hormones involved in the menstrual cycle include follicle-stimulating hormone allso called FSH and luteinizing hormone or LH, made by the pituitary gland.
