While the normal  menstrual cycle  in the  human   typically lasts 4 weeks (28 days, range 21-35 days) and consists of a  follicular phase,  ovulation, and a  luteal phase, followed by either  menstruation  or  pregnancy , the anovulatory cycle has cycle lengths of varying degrees.

The  anovulatory cycle  is a  menstrual cycle  characterized by varying degrees of menstrual intervals and the absence of  ovulation  and a  luteal phase.  One out of every five  couples experiences difficulty in conceiving a child.  Medical assistance is often necessary to  ensure conception.

The finely tuned interaction of female sex hormones has a key role in the development and maintenance of the female genital organs and is an essential requirement for fertility.
