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 caviar eggs fertilized before being harvested for consumption?

No, caviar eggs are not fertilized before being harvested for consumption.


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.


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.


How does the process of clotting during the menstrual cycle affect a woman's overall health and well-being?

During the menstrual cycle, clotting can occur due to the shedding of the uterine lining. Excessive clotting can lead to heavier periods and increased discomfort, impacting a woman's overall health and well-being by causing pain, fatigue, and potential iron deficiency anemia. It is important for women to monitor their menstrual clotting and seek medical advice if it significantly affects their quality of life.

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.


For how long the will the egg remain fertilized?

Once the egg is fertilized it remains fertilized until the egg is eaten, incubated or goes rotten and decays. It never goes back to being an unfertilized egg.


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.


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.


What are some innovative menstrual devices that can help improve women's health and well-being during their menstrual cycle?

Some innovative menstrual devices that can help improve women's health and well-being during their menstrual cycle include menstrual cups, period-tracking apps, and period-proof underwear.


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.


Do pads make you bleed more during your menstrual cycle?

No, pads do not make you bleed more during your menstrual cycle. They simply absorb the blood that is already being released from your body.


Which have a better chance to be fertilized- the egg cells of fish of the egg cells of frogs?

The egg cells of fish have a better chance of being fertilized compared to the egg cells of frogs. This is because fish release a large number of eggs into the water, increasing the likelihood of encountering sperm for fertilization, while frogs typically lay fewer eggs and do not release them directly into the water.

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.
