The lack of understanding of human ovulation mechanism is unconceivable considering that the human race survival relies upon the release of the largest female body cell into the oviduct and subsequent fertilisation by sperm present in the ampulla.

As no biochemical test can reveal the exact moment of ovulation and the only proof that an oocyte has been released is the subsequent establishment of a pregnancy, the process of ovulation is still surrounded in mystery.
