Ovulation is when the egg is released from one of the ovaries and travels down the fallopian tube to be fertalized by the sperm.

Ovulation is the release of an egg from ovaries.
The highest possibility for a woman to become pregnant are the few days before and after ovulation.
The female body makes a substance called Luteinizing Hormone (LH) that triggers the release of the egg.
During most of your menstrual cycle, your body manufactures small amounts of LH. But around the middle of your cycle, your body suddenly increases the amount of the LH for a few days. This sudden increase is called the “LH surge”, and it usually causes the female body to ovulate.
Ovulation usually take place within 40 hours after the LH surge begins. You may not have an LH surge or might not ovulate every menstrual cycle. Even if your menstrual bleeding begins on time, that does not necessarily mean that your body has ovulated.
After ovulation, the amount of LH in your body will return to normal level within 2 days. Unless pregnancy occurs, the cycle of increase and decrease of LH will repeat again after your menstrual period ends.

Ovulation is when the egg is released from the ovary and travels down the fallopian tube to the uterus where it waits for the possibliity to be fertilized by sperm. In a few days if it isn't then within a few weeks the body expels the egg and the uterine lining--that's why you get a period.

It's when an egg is released from your ovary and starts down your fallopian tube. It occurs somewhere in the middle of your menstrual cycle.
