ReneNo, periods do not occur after an egg is fertilized because fertilization of the egg leads to the development of the embryo, which implants in the uterus and eventually grows into a fetus. This process suppresses the shedding of the uterine lining that occurs during menstruation.

How did periods occur?
Periods occur as the lining of the uterus sheds in response to hormonal changes in the body. Each month, if an egg is not fertilized, the lining is no longer needed and is expelled through the vagina, resulting in menstruation. This cycle of shedding and renewing the lining of the uterus is what causes periods to occur.
Where does implantation of a fertilized egg occur?
Implantation of a fertilized egg typically occurs in the lining of the uterus, specifically in the endometrium. The fertilized egg attaches itself to the uterine wall and begins to grow and develop into an embryo.
Can a fertilized egg remain stored in a woman's uterus during her menstrual cycle?
No, a fertilized egg cannot remain stored in a woman's uterus during her menstrual cycle. If fertilization does not occur, the thickened lining of the uterus sheds during menstruation. If fertilization does occur, the fertilized egg implants into the lining of the uterus to start growing into a pregnancy, not remaining stored.
What is the organ that is typically the site of implantation of a fertilized egg?
The fertilized egg typically implants in the lining of the uterus. This process is known as implantation and is essential for successful pregnancy to occur.
Do people who get implantation bleeding do they get periods while pregnant as well?
No, implantation bleeding is a light spotting that can occur when a fertilized egg attaches to the uterine lining. It is not the same as a menstrual period. Women do not have periods while pregnant, but some may experience light bleeding or spotting during pregnancy for reasons unrelated to menstruation.
