The egg(s) is released from the ovaries. It then goes to the fallopian tubes. Here, it can be fertilized by a sperm cell or remain unfertilized. Either way, it travels through the fallopina tubes and into the uterus. If it is fertilized, the egg will implant on the lining of the wall of the uterus and begin to grow. If not, the lining will shed. This, along with the egg, will travel out of the body through the cervix and vagina in the period.
