Your ovaries begin to mature many eggs each month, due to hormonal stimulation. Then, when one egg has completed maturation and been released from the ovary, the ovaries release a certain hormone that causes the other eggs that are in the midst of being matured, to stop the maturation process, and they shrink and die. If two eggs happen to both reach full maturity at around the same time, then both may be released, ready for fertilization, before the signal is sent for the other eggs to stop maturation and die. With both eggs ready for fertilization, they may both end up fertilized--in fact, that's likely, given that there are so many sperm released and searching for eggs. It IS possible for only one to be fertilized. It is also possible for only one to be a healthy egg, so that even though both are fertilized, and both begin growing into embryos, one may die and be resorbed into the body. You won't get your period, because the hormones released by the fertilized egg prevent the uterine lining from shedding, and also prevent the ovaries from maturing more eggs. It's very important that this be the case, because if the uterine lining were shed like in a period, the embryo would be lost and the pregnancy ended. So like I said above, in a case when there's a problem with one of the two fertilized eggs, instead of having it leave the body via the vagina, the body absorbs it.

What else can I help you with?
Why are so many released when only one sperm is required to an egg?
During sexual reproduction, many sperm are released during ejaculation to increase the odds of fertilization by competing to reach the egg first. Only one sperm can successfully fertilize an egg due to the genetic material it carries, containing half of the necessary chromosomes to create a new organism. The competition ensures that the strongest and healthiest sperm has the best chance of fertilizing the egg.
Why do you think millions of sperm are released to fertilize one egg?
Releasing millions of sperm increases the likelihood of successful fertilization by increasing the chances of one sperm reaching and penetrating the egg. This strategy helps ensure that at least one healthy sperm will successfully fertilize the egg.
Why is more than one sperm required for fertilization?
Only one sperm is needed to fertilize an egg. However, multiple sperm may try to penetrate the egg due to competition among sperm cells. Only one sperm can successfully fertilize the egg, as the egg usually undergoes changes to prevent additional sperm from entering once fertilization has occurred.
Does both ovaries release eggs each month?
Yes, they do.
Why do millions of sperm released to fertilize a single egg?
Many sperm are released during fertilization to increase the chances of successfully fertilizing the egg. The competition among sperm ensures that only the healthiest and most viable sperm will reach the egg, increasing the chances of a successful pregnancy. Additionally, it provides genetic diversity, as the successful sperm will carry a unique combination of genetic material from the parents.
Is only one egg released during ovulation?
Yes, typically only one egg is released during ovulation.
Is egg avulated only one time in cycle?
Yes, a single egg is generally released during ovulation only one time during each cycle. Rarely, more than one egg is released at this point in the cycle.
Can a fallopian tube pick up an egg released from the opposite ovary?
Yes. Your tubes aren't attached and are pliable, so it does happen that one tube will stretch to the other side and pick up the egg sometimes. This happened to me last month.
How many eggs are usually released during ovulation?
Usually, only one egg is released; however, two can be realeased at once during ovulation.
Can two sperm fertilize one egg?
No, only one sperm can fertilize one egg.
In order to yield a chromosome condition only one sperm can fertilize one egg.?
yes only one sperm can fertilize one egg.
How many baby fish can come in one egg?
only one per egg
Can a man have only one egg for child making?
A man can have more than only one egg for child making.

How many egg is release by the ovary in one month?
