I keep getting “Menstrual cycle” questions wrong in Human Reproduction & Reproductive Health. What's the trap?
thinking ovulation happens at the start of the cycle.
The usual trap: thinking ovulation happens at the start of the cycle. How to avoid it: ovulation is mid-cycle (~day 14), roughly halfway. Go back to the definition — a ~28-day hormonal cycle in which ovulation occurs around day 14, driven by FSH, LH, estrogen and progesterone.
