In the usual menstrual cycle, the body of women gets prepared for releasing the eggs for fertilization. In the early phase of the periods, the body releases hormones to thicken the lining of the uterus and it prepares eggs for ovulation. In two weeks of the cycle on day 14 the ovary releases the eggs so that the eggs can reach the fallopian tubes for fertilization and then it travels to the uterus for further implantation. If a woman is having Defective Ovulation their body experiences lack of regular or natural ovulation. Almost all the couples who are dealing with infertility are having Defective Ovulation and the primary cause of the defect is polycystic ovarian syndrome which is the condition that impacts the hormone levels, menstrual cycles, and weight.
