During the follicular stage of the menstrual cycle, both FSH and estrogen are high, but aren't estrogen and FSH on a negative feedback loop?

Is it just because FSH is not directly involved in the increase of estrogen (it is the follicle that increases estrogen) that both of them remain high?

Since this is not my area of expertise, I searched Google under the key words "FSH estrogen relationship" to get this:

In the future, you can find the information you desire more quickly, if you use appropriate key words to do your own search. Also see http://hanlib.sou.edu/searchtools/.
