Yes, typically only one ovary releases an egg each month in a process called ovulation. The ovaries do not alternate ovulation each month, but rather take turns releasing eggs.

How do women's ovaries and uterus function together to support the reproductive system?

Women's ovaries produce eggs and hormones, while the uterus provides a place for a fertilized egg to implant and develop into a baby. The ovaries release an egg each month during ovulation, which travels through the fallopian tubes to the uterus. If the egg is fertilized by sperm, it implants in the uterus lining and grows into a fetus. If the egg is not fertilized, the uterus sheds its lining during menstruation. This process repeats each month in a woman's reproductive cycle.


Where in the human body are eggs made?

The ovary is the organ in the female body that is responsible for releasing eggs each month. The eggs are made when a female is forming as a baby in her mother's womb. She is born with all of the eggs she will ever have, and they stay in her two ovaries, being released each month starting in puberty.


What is The process of releasing one mature ovum each month?

This happens to women who are genetically predisposed to having twins or are hyper-stimulated by hormones to bring about ovulation. In a "normal cycle" there are multiple follicles maturing simultaneously - usually only one fully matures by the time of ovulation. If there are 2 mature ovum the possibility of fraternal twins is high, if there are multiple mature ovum a pregnancy like Kate Gosselin (formerly of Jon and Kate Plus 8 - fame) where 7 ovum were fertilized at one insemination (one didn't develop past a few weeks) - most doctors would advise against attempting insemination due to high likely-hood of a higher order multiple pregnancy (HOM) or they would suggest selective reduction. This was the route Kate was advised to take, which she declined for religious and personal reasons.
