How to Say "Ovulation" in Spanish

ovulación

/obulaˈθjon/feminine

Ovulation in Spanish is ovulación.

ovulación is the medical and everyday word for the release of an egg from the ovary. It is used in health, biology and fertility contexts.

Meaning: release of an ovum from the ovary (noun)

How does it change in a sentence?

The noun is feminine, so it takes the article la, as in la ovulación.

ovulación is pronounced /obulaˈθjon/ in Spain, with the stress on the last syllable. In Latin America the c is pronounced like an s.

While ovulación is the technical term, people in some Spanish-speaking regions use the phrase estar en los días fértiles to describe the window around ovulation.
In Spanish, the concept of 'tracking ovulation' is often phrased as seguir el ciclo, focusing on the entire menstrual cycle rather than just the single event of ovulación.
The suffix -ción in ovulación is a direct descendant of the Latin -tio, which is why it mirrors the English 'ovulation' almost perfectly in structure.

Desde una perspectiva social, la menarquia normalmente se considera el acontecimiento central de la pubertad femenina – pero la menarquia no necesariamente indica que la ovulación haya comenzado.
From a social perspective, menarche is typically considered the central event of female puberty – but menarche does not necessarily signal that ovulation has begun occurring.
The sentence says menarche does not necessarily mean that la ovulación has begun.
