Follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH)
 is a hormone synthesized and secreted by the pituitary gland located behind your nose. In females, FSH initiates follicular growth, specifically affecting a growing egg cell still within the ovary. The decline of FSH levels at a specific time in the menstruation cycle seems to be critical in selecting only the most advanced follicle to proceed to ovulation. A slight rise in FSH determines the start of the next ovulatory cycle. FSH levels are used in In Vitro Fertilization procedures to determine when harvest eggs. FSH is a quality control indicator in the reproductive cycle.
