FSH and LH are both involved in the ovarian cycle and sperm production. FSH stimulates the growth of ovarian follicles in females and aids in the maturation of sperm cells in males. LH triggers ovulation in females and stimulates the production of testosterone in males. Testing levels of FSH and LH can provide insight into potential fertility issues.
