The egg is released from the ovary 12-17 days after the first day of the last menstrual period. It is viable for approx. 12-24 hours, the sperm is viable for approx. 72 hours, so the most fertile period is the three days prior to ovulation. If it is fertilized (usually in the fallopian tube), it then will implant in the wall of the uterus 5-6 days after ovulation.

Ovulation is the cyclical process, in which a female produces ova (eggs) in an ovary (ovarian gland/follicle), and discharges them toward the uterus via a fallopian tube in preparation for conception (about mid-cycle). This process is the underlying function of the menstrual cycle, not the bleeding which actually ends the cycle.
