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.
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.
Follicles containing eggs rupture on the ovarian cortex each month during ovulation. When a follicle ruptures, it releases the mature egg into the fallopian tube for potential fertilization.
Eggs are produced in the ovaries. Each month, a woman's ovaries release an egg in a process called ovulation.
Coniferous trees produce seeds in structures called cones. The female cones contain the seeds, which are usually located at the base of each scale. When the seeds are mature, the cone opens up, releasing them to be dispersed by the wind or animals.
Sperm cells mature in the epididymis, a coiled tube located on the back of each testicle in the male reproductive system.
One egg cell is released each month.

Ova (eggs) mature in the ovaries of the female reproductive system. During the menstrual cycle, one egg is released from an ovary each month in a process called ovulation.

Yes, they do.
A nonpregnant woman typically releases one mature egg from one ovary each month. Over the course of a year, this would equate to around 12 mature eggs produced from each ovary.
The hormone that stimulates a follicle to grow and mature each month is follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH). Produced by the pituitary gland, FSH plays a crucial role in the ovarian cycle by promoting the development of ovarian follicles. As the follicles mature, they also produce estrogen, which further regulates the menstrual cycle.
