Luteinizing hormone (LH) is a hormone that is produced in the pituitary gland in both men and women. In women, LH is an important part of the menstrual cycle. It works in conjunction with follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), also made in the pituitary gland. FSH stimulates the ovarian follicle causing an egg to grow. It also triggers the production of estrogen in the follicle.
The rise in estrogen tells the pituitary gland to stop producing FSH and to start making more LH. The shift to LH causes the egg to be released from the ovary, a process called ovulation. In the empty follicle, cells proliferate, turning it into a corpus luteum. This structure releases progesterone, a hormone necessary to maintain pregnancy. If pregnancy does not occur, levels of progesterone drop off and the cycle begins again.
The LH Ovulation Test is specifically designed to detect LH surge - the time when one is likely to ovulate. A positive on an LH test indicates the most fertile phase of menstrual cycle.
