What is Ovulation?
Ovulation happens when a mature egg is released from the ovary following ovulation, pushed down the fallopian tube, and made ready for fertilization. This happens as one of the ovaries produces an egg about once a month. When an egg reaches maturity, the ovary releases it into the fallopian tube, from where it travels to the uterus, where the sperm can fertilize it. And then, the uterine lining thickens to receive the fertilized egg. Blood and the uterine lining will be lost if fertilization is unsuccessful. Menstruation occurs when an unfertilized egg and the uterine wall are shed.
