Estrogen
A hormone produced by the female reproductive system is called estrogen. It regulates the release of the ovum from the ovary, down the Fallopian tube, and into the uterus. If the egg is fertilized, no new eggs will drop for nearly a year. If it is not fertilized, a new egg will drop in roughly 28 days.
