Such an amazing discovery!
Dr Jacques Donnez was the first person to (accidentally) witness human ovulation with the naked eye in 2008.
The starting point of every human life was observed during a hysterectomy at UCL in Brussels.
Because ovulation happens so infrequently (13 times per year in the average woman), happens rather quickly (maximum 15 minutes from beginning to end), and because we never know for sure when ovulation will exactly take place, it has been very difficult to clearly photograph or film this event.
