Ovarian stimulation involves the use of follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), ... Your physician will use a series of ultrasound scans to obtain an actual image of the ovaries and to regularly monitor follicle growth in the ovary beginning on or before Day 8 of the cycle. As follicles mature, they grow larger.

The outcome of ovarian follicular superstimulation protocols in heifers is influenced by the number of follicles that are stimulated to grow and the number induced to ovulate. At present, only a proportion of the follicles that are stimulated to grow progress to ovulation. ... Ovarian Follicle [growth & development]

The effect of an ovarian growth factor (OGF) purified from bovine pituitary glands was tested in vivo in immature mice from twelve to nineteen days old. Differential count of ovarian follicles was taken as a morphologic parameter for OGF effect upon ovarian maturation. ... Follicle Stimulating Hormone [pharmacology]
