Answer:

During each menstrual cycle, there is a rise in follicle stimulating hormone (fsh) in the first half of the cycle that stimulates follicular growth in the ovary. After ovulation the ruptured follicle forms a corpus luteum that produces high levels of progesterone. This inhibits the release of fsh!
