The release of eggs from the ovary is known as ovulation.
Ovulation will typically occur around two weeks into the menstrual cycle, although everyone is different and unless using fertility awareness method or ovulation testing kits you may not know when ovulation occurs. Around the week prior to ovulation there is fertile cervical mucus, a clear stretchy fluid that helps keep sperm alive in the vagina so it can reach the egg, which is an indication of upcoming ovulation.

∙ 13y agoYou are born with ovaries full of immature eggs - every month after you have a period another ova (egg) ripens or matures - once it finishes maturing it is released - usually landing in the fallopian tube - if there are sperm cells present they will try to penetrate the coating around the ova - when the sperm cell manages to break through - the egg has been fertilized - this is called conception.
A few days later the fertilized egg drops into the uterus, if it is able to "stick" to the uterine lining - this is called implanting and a pregnancy has begun.
If there are no sperm cells present the egg drops into the uterus unfertilized - after a few days the uterine lining sheds - this is menstruation. A fresh new lining will replace this one, as the cycle starts over.

How many egg cell release during ovulation?
normally one egg is released from one ovary during ovulation. That egg releases hormones that signal the other eggs to stay put. Sometimes two eggs release at the same time (usually one from each ovary) and that's how you get twins. Some fertility drugs tell the ovary to release more than one egg, which is why fertility drugs often lead to multiple births.
