The problem may be all the other parts of motherhood that have little to do with what's going on inside of your brainâand may not show up in traditional experimental conditions. A study by researchers at the University of British Columbia in 2011 performed a battery of memory tests on pregnant women.
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. Luteinizing hormone (LH, also known as lutropin and sometimes lutrophin) is a hormone produced by gonadotropic cells in the anterior pituitary gland. In females, an acute rise of LH ( LH surge ) triggers ovulation and development of the corpus luteum.
The follicle produces more estrogen to prepare the uterus for pregnancy. At ovulation, usually around Day 12 â 14, increased estrogen levels trigger a sharp rise in Luteinizing Hormone (LH) from the pituitary gland, causing release of the egg from the follicle. The ruptured follicle (corpus luteum) now secretes progesterone and estrogen to continue to prepare the uterus for pregnancy.
