First ripe, first released. The release of the hormone progesterone, (I believe--somebody check me on that) stops the second follicle from ripening. Rarely, it does happen that 2 eggs are released simultaneously.

The ovaries release eggs each month as part of the menstrual cycle.


Is it right ovary or left ovary who produce egg cell?

Both the right and left ovaries can produce egg cells, but typically, one ovary alternates each month to release an egg during the menstrual cycle. This means that in one cycle, the right ovary may release an egg, and in the next cycle, the left ovary might do so. Over time, both ovaries contribute to egg production.


Does both ovaries release eggs each month?

Yes, they do.


What alternates the release of eggs during the menstrual cycle?

Nothing alternates the release; that's a common myth. Instead, the ovaries sort of race to be the first to ripen the egg. Normally, the winner shuts down development of other follicles. On average, for the average woman, the ovaries each release an egg half the time.

What is the menstural cycle controlled by?

The menstrual cycle is controlled by hormones, including estrogen and progesterone. These hormones are produced by the ovaries in response to signals from the brain's hypothalamus and pituitary gland. The cycle involves the maturation and release of an egg from the ovary each month, as well as the thickening of the uterine lining in preparation for a potential pregnancy.


Can you ovulate only from one side every month Does Clomid help to produce follicle on both sides?

Yes, it is possible to ovulate from only one ovary each month, as ovulation typically alternates between the ovaries. Clomid (clomiphene citrate) can stimulate the ovaries to produce follicles, and in some cases, it may lead to ovulation from both sides in the same cycle. However, the response varies among individuals, and not everyone will ovulate from both ovaries when taking Clomid.


What female body part produces eggs?

An ovum starts out in an ovary (either the left or right). From there it travels through a fallopian tube to the uterus. It could be fertilized and implanted there (becoming an embryo instead of an ovum) or it could pass through the vagina and exit the body through the vulva.


How many eggs does a woman release every month during ovulation?

During ovulation, a woman typically releases one egg each month. This occurs as part of the menstrual cycle, where a mature follicle in the ovaries releases the egg into the fallopian tube. In some cases, a woman may release more than one egg, which can result in fraternal twins if both are fertilized. However, the standard is one egg per cycle.

What is ovum producing glands?

Ovum-producing glands, primarily known as the ovaries, are the female reproductive organs responsible for producing ova (egg cells) and hormones such as estrogen and progesterone. Each ovary contains follicles that mature and release an egg during the menstrual cycle through a process called ovulation. In addition to ovulation, the ovaries play a crucial role in regulating the menstrual cycle and supporting reproductive health.
