Yes. You always have an egg in your body whether you are menstruating or not. A female is born with all the eggs she will ever have. Approximately 14 days after a females menstrual periods, she will release an egg (known as ovulation). This egg will hang out for a couple days in the fallopian tubes to be fertilized. If the egg is not fertilized by a males sperm, it is then released from her body.
