How would you know when your eggs are being fertilized?
The earliest detection would be through blood labs measuring hormones. That would be after your eggs are fertilized. As for knowing WHEN they are being fertilized, best to err on the safe side and assume they are during unprotected intercourse.
Can your eggs be fertilized when your on your period?
No, your eggs cannot be fertilized when you're on your period. During menstruation there are no eggs present, there are only eggs present to fertilise during ovulation, and overulation occurs two weeks before menstruation with an egg only being present for 48 hours maximum.
Why are there only a few days in each menstrual cycle when fertilisation can take place?
In order for fertilization to take place, there must be an egg available to be fertilized. So, fertilization can take place between an egg being released, travelling down the fallopian tube, and arriving at the uterus. Once an egg arrives at the uterus, if it is not fertilized, then the body takes steps to get rid of it (menstruation). It only takes a few days for the egg to get to the uterus after being released, so those few days are the only ones when the egg can be fertilized.
Very human beginsas are fertilized and cell egg cell?
do you think every human being begins as are fertilized cell anf egg cell
Are 80 of a woman's fertilized eggs flushed away during menstruation?
No, 80 fertilized eggs are not flushed away during mestruation. If an egg is actually fertilized by a sperm cell, it will embed itself and grow in the woman's uterus while developing into a baby. This is why a woman will not get her period if she is pregnant. The reason a woman experiences menstraution is because the egg her ovary released was not fertilized and the lining of her uterus (which would have been the "home" for the fertilized egg) is not needed. This lining (mostly blood) and the unfertilized egg are shed during menstruation.Therefore, every "period" a woman has represents at least one unfertilized egg being discarded by the body. During a woman's life, she will have around 450 periods. However, a woman is born with up to 500,000 eggs, and the 450 periods she has represent only a fraction of her eggs that achieved maturity (meaning mature enough to be fertilized), a process controlled by hormones.------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Actually the above answer is not true. It is completely possible for a woman's body to rinse out fertilized eggs via her period.Ovulation occurs at the halfway point during a woman's menstrual cycle. The average cycle is 28 days, so average ovulation is day 14. Ovulation is when the body releases one egg to be fertilized. Since sperm can live in the cervix up to 5 days, it's possible for a woman to get pregnant when she isn't ovulating.Once an egg is fertilized in the fallopian tubes, it has to travel to the uterus. It can take 5-10 days for this to happen. Because many women can start their periods while this process is taking place, and most due, it flushes the fertilized eggs out of the body onto sanitary napkins. Because it's impossible for scientists to determine how often this happens, it's estimated between 60 and 80 percent of fertilized eggs.What stops the woman's period is the fertilized egg that has entered the uterus. That is when pregnancy officially begins---------------------------------------------------------------------------The second answer is more likely to be right because George Carlin uses that fact when he is debating about abortion.

Can you ovulate during a menstrual cycle?
Menstrual cycle refers to your entire reproductive cycle - you always ovulate during your menstrual cycle, typically this occurs two weeks before you menstruate. You can't ovulate during menstruation - although this doesn't mean that you can't be fertile during menstruation.
How often are eggs developed after puberty?
Normally one egg will mature during each menstrual cycle - but there are obvious exceptions. Fraternal twins come from more than one egg maturing, being released and then fertilized.
In which days of menstrual cycle pregnancy occur?
Any. Pregnancy occurs when the ovum/egg is present and gets fertilized by the sperm. Technically the ovum/egg is being flushed out during mentration. Chances are lower but still possible.

What is occurring during the flow phase of the menstrual cycle?
The endothelial cells lining the uterus are breaking down and being sloughed off, to prepare for the next cycle. If an egg had been successfully fertilized, a hormonal surge would have preserved the uterine lining in preparation for implantation.
What is a zygoyte?
A zygote is a one celled organism. Which is a result of a female egg being fertilized during sexual reproduction.
What happens to the egg when it isnt fertilized?
It dies and is eventually flushed as waste. This happens as part of a women's menstrual cycle; its primary purpose being to cleanse the uterus before new eggs are produced.
Can your eggs be fertilized when your on your period?
No, your eggs cannot be fertilized when you're on your period. During menstruation there are no eggs present, there are only eggs present to fertilise during ovulation, and overulation occurs two weeks before menstruation with an egg only being present for 48 hours maximum.
Are duck eggs fertilized before or after being laid?
All eggs that have a hard or semi hard shell are fertilized before being laid.
Why are many fish eggs never fertilized?
There is a very low chance of the sperm meeting the egg if the fertilisation does not happen in the female's body. This is why fish produce large numbers of eggs - to increase the chance of them being fertilised and thus ensuring the survival of the species.
