What is the path of an unfertilized egg from a follicle until it leaves the body?
Once the follicle erupts and the egg escapes, it enters the fallopian tube. Cilia on the lining of the fallopian tubes push the egg along on it's way to the uterus. If the egg is fertilized while on its way to the uterus, it implants in the endometrium when it reaches the uterus. If it is not fertilized, it is shed in the monthly menstruation cycle.
Where does conception take place?
In the fallopian tubes, NOT the uterus. By the time the egg reaches the uterus, if it hasn't been fertilized yet, it won't ever be fertilized because your body has already begun to make new hormones and prepare to shed the uterine lining. Eggs just don't live that long. They hang out in the fallopian tubes waiting to be fertilized, and if they are, then they travel to the uterus and implant, signaling the start of pregnancy. Sometimes a fetilized egg implants in the tubes themselves, called an ectopic pregnancy, which usually requires a surgery.
What happens when both ovaries releases an egg at the same time and both are fertilized?
If both eggs from the ovaries are fertilized with sperm, it can result in fraternal twins (two separate embryos). Each embryo would develop independently, leading to a multiple pregnancy. This is known as dizygotic twins.
What is implantation bleeding and when does it happen?
Implantation bleeding is vaginal discharge which usually contains a small amount of pinkish or brownish blood. Only about a third of pregnant women experience implantation bleeding. It can happen at the time the fertilized egg implants in the uterus, on average between 6 to 12 days past ovulation. Unless accompanied by cramping, backache or increased bleeding, a small amount of blood being discharged should be considered as implantation bleeding which is nothing to be concerned about. Implantation can sometimes cause a bit of spotting or bleeding, known as implantation bleeding. Implantation bleeding is a small amount of bleeding in the uterus that occurs when the egg implants into the uterus. A specific tissue, known as trophoblast, develops from the fertilized egg and it surrounds it. It is what attaches the egg to the inside of the uterus, and actually eats its way into the uterus. The trophoblast actually pulls the egg to the inside of the endometrium. Trophoblast even invades the mother's blood vessels and diverts her blood to the fertilized egg. Sometimes, this blood will leak and this causes implantation bleeding. Thus, it is possible that it can be as many as 7 to 14 days between the time of sexual intercourse and the time that the fertilized egg implants in the uterus.
Can you have a period and implantation bleeding at the same time?
It is unlikely to have a period and implantation bleeding at the same time because they occur at different points in the menstrual cycle. Period bleeding is the shedding of the uterine lining, while implantation bleeding happens when the fertilized egg attaches to the uterus. If you are experiencing bleeding during pregnancy, it is best to consult a healthcare provider.

From the time a fertilized egg is implanted in a mother's uterus until about the eighth week of pregnancy, the developing organism is called an embryo.

What does the lining of the uterus do if an egg is released and not fertilized?
It sheds and is expelled from the body. This process is known as menstruation or a period and happens on average every 28 days from the time a woman first releases an egg during puberty until menopause.
Where is the fertilization of the baby takes place?
The fertilization of an egg cell by a sperm cell takes place, in normal pregnancies, in the woman's uterus. The fertilized egg then implants into the wall of the uterus and begins to grow there until it is time to deliver the baby. In some circumstances, however, the sperm might find the egg before the egg reaches the uterus, and the egg may be fertilized in the fallopian tube. Often, an egg fertilized in the fallopian tube will continue its path to the uterus and implant normally. It is possible, though, that the egg will implant in the fallopian tube and become an ectopic pregnancy. If not caught early, this complication can cause problems for both mother and baby.
Can fertilization take place in the uterus?
This is a biology question, not a physics question but anyway, yes it can. Most of the time it takes place in the Fallopian tubes, however, it can occur in the upper part of the uterus from time to time.
What is a womans period?
A woman's period is what happens when a females uterus has one or occasionally two eggs that is not fertilized by a male in a certain amount of time. The egg must come out, so the egg comes out with a bit of blood. How you get it fertilized by a male is through sex.
Can one egg be fertilized and the other not?
Yes, it is possible and common to have only one of two fertilized eggs implant in the uterus.
If you stuck it into your girlfriend five days before her next period and she started on time when she was supposed to and lasted four days filling two to three pads a day is she pregnant?
Most likely she is not pregnant, since a menstrual cycle comes when an ovum(fertilized egg) reaches the uterus. The body recognizes the unfertilized egg and expells the uterine lining, called a 'period', and takes the egg with it. However, if a fertilized egg reaches the uterus it implants into the wall, and the menstrual cycle does not happen, due to the fact that the uterine lining is needed to accomodate the embryo. so, no, it is unlikely she is pregnant.
What happens when both ovaries releases an egg at the same time and both are fertilized?
If both eggs from the ovaries are fertilized with sperm, it can result in fraternal twins (two separate embryos). Each embryo would develop independently, leading to a multiple pregnancy. This is known as dizygotic twins.
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.
Where does the female egg develop?
A female's fertilized egg spends the majority of time in the uterus. This is where the egg will mature and grow.
