Eisprungs

Eisprungs is the genitive form of the German noun Eisprung, which refers to ovulation in mammals, including humans. The base word Eisprung denotes the release of a mature egg from the ovary as part of the menstrual cycle. In standard usage, Eisprungs is not typically used as an independent term; it appears in phrases such as die Dauer des Eisprungs (the duration of ovulation) or the phrase des Eisprungs within a sentence.

In medical and reproductive biology, ovulation is the process by which a mature oocyte is released from the ovarian follicle. It typically occurs mid‑cycle, roughly around day 12 to 16 in a 28‑day cycle, but timing can vary widely among individuals. The event is driven by hormonal signals, notably a surge in luteinizing hormone (LH). Ovulation marks the peak fertility window for conception, though fertility awareness methods emphasize that sperm can survive in the female reproductive tract for several days.

Signs and indicators of ovulation include moderate abdominal discomfort (mittelschmerz) for some people, changes in cervical mucus that becomes clearer and more stretchy, and subtle shifts in basal body temperature after ovulation. Medical testing, such as hormone monitoring or ovulation predictor kits, can help individuals track the timing.

Notes: Eisprungs is primarily a grammatical form in German rather than a distinct subject. For the concept itself, the term commonly used is Eisprung, i.e., ovulation. See also Eisprung for related information.
