The egg isn't in the womb, the egg is in the ovary until ovulation when it is released into the fallopian tube. Each egg will only live for up to 24 hours, so there may be a viable egg present for up to 48 hours maximum, if not fertilised it is then reabsorbed into the body.

How does the LH hormone impact the menstrual cycle?

The LH hormone, or luteinizing hormone, plays a crucial role in the menstrual cycle by triggering ovulation. When LH levels surge, typically around the middle of the cycle, it causes the mature egg to be released from the ovary. This release of the egg is essential for fertility and the continuation of the menstrual cycle.
