EstrogenA hormone produced by the female reproductive system is called estrogen. It regulates the release of the ovum from the ovary, down the Fallopian tube, and into the uterus. If the egg is fertilized, no new eggs will drop for nearly a year. If it is not fertilized, a new egg will drop in roughly 28 days.
How soon after ovulation does the egg implant in the uterus?
After you ovulate, your egg waits to be fertilized for apprx 24 hours. If the egg is fertilized, it takes the fertilized egg about 5-12 days to travel to the uterus and implant itself in the lining. I have read that the average time for implantation is 8 days past ovulation.

Why you have periods?
A period (more technically known as a menstrual cycle) is the result of hormonal changes occurring in your body on a regular basis as your body prepares itself for the possibility of carrying a child. Every month, your body produces a hormone called estrogen, the purpose of which is to produce an egg from your ovaries and to build a fertile lining in your uterus to support the egg if it is fertilized. After the egg is released from the ovary, it travels into the fallopian tube into the uterus, where if you have had sex, it may be fertilized and attach to the uterine lining, where it will grow into a baby. The space where the egg was becomes a luteal cyst and begins to secrete progesterone, which keeps the lining of the uterus healthy for the growing baby. If the egg is unfertilized, after a few days the progesterone hormone levels fall and the uterine lining begins to weaken and shed, what you know as your "period."
