A woman with consistently high estrogen levels experiences irregular menstrual cycles; which physiological process is most likely disrupted?

💡 Explanation

Disrupted FSH feedback is the most likely result of high estrogen because estrogen normally exerts negative feedback on FSH secretion, which is necessary for proper follicular development and ovulation. Therefore, high levels would suppress FSH, rather than other processes; it disrupts the hormonal balance needed for cycle regulation.
