Ovuloom📖 Estrogen
The primary female reproductive hormone, produced mainly by the ovaries. Estrogen drives follicle development, builds the uterine lining, and triggers the LH surge that causes ovulation.
In Detail
Estrogen (primarily estradiol/E2) rises during the follicular phase as follicles grow, peaks just before ovulation, and dips briefly before rising again in the luteal phase. It's responsible for developing secondary sex characteristics, maintaining bone density, regulating cholesterol, and supporting cervical mucus production. Estrogen dominance or deficiency can cause irregular cycles, mood changes, and fertility issues. Birth control pills work by suppressing natural estrogen/progesterone cycles.
