Question

Does FSH and LH in the follicular phase of the uterine cycle increase, decrease or is steady in the first trimester of a pregnant woman?

Answer 1

The first day of menses is identified as cycle day one. Estrogen is at a low point. Therefore, the pituitary secretes FSH and LH, a process which actually begins before the onset of your menses. These hormones in turn stimulate the growth of several ovarian follicles, each containing one egg.
