Pituitary and ovary: The pituitary hormones FSH and LH help the egg sac, or follicle grow and mature. A sudden surge of LH induces ovulation. The ovary produces estradiol, to prepare the pelvic organs and progesterone, after ovulation, to stabilize the endometrial lining for pregnancy.

LH and progesterone: Estrogen levels are detected by the brain which then releases something call leutinizing hormone (lh) which induces ovulation. After ovulation, Progesterone levels increase.
