Understanding the hormones in me

I have been giving myself with 3 jabs a day, and these jabs are basically hormones: Follicle Stimulating Hormone (FSH) and Luteinizing Hormone (LH). Both FSH & LH increase the number of growing follicles and subsequently stimulating their development.

With FSH, it increases the production of oestrogen and under the influence of hormone the largest follicle continues to grow and develop. And when the oestrogen increases, it triggers a surge of LH, which results in final maturation and the release of the egg from the ovary.

I hope I got the understanding right... during my next visit, I shall verify my writing with Dr F :)
