of first ever human ovulation captured on video

Human ovulation captured on video: Researchers Stephan Gordts and Ivo Brosens of the Leuven Institute for Fertility & Embryology has released the first ever video footage of the human ovulation occurring inside a woman's body. This comes a week after the photos were released by another researcher, Jacques Donnez at the Catholic University of Louvain (UCL), showing ovulation occurring inside a woman's body.


Photos released last week by Jacques Donnez at the Catholic University of Louvain (UCL)

Following the publication last week of the best ever photos of the ovulation of a human egg, we now go, Fantastic Voyage-like, to the first video footage of the moment itself.

To record the sequence, Stephan Gordts and Ivo Brosens of the Leuven Institute for Fertility & Embryology in Belgium performed transvaginal laparoscopy, which involves making a small cut in the vaginal wall and observing the ovary with an endoscope.

Watch the video. Human ovulation captured on film: Belgian researchers have captured ovulation on film for the first time.
