In the case of a mammalian egg (humans and so forth), the egg is absorbed into the bloodstream and disappears.

If a woman's egg cell is not fertilized, then nothing special happens. The egg cell, the uterine lining, and a certain amount of blood get expelled. Then, usually within 2 weeks, the body prepares the uterus again and releases another egg cell. This process is called the menstrual cycle, or a woman's "period."

When an avian egg is not fertilized, the egg will not hatch! An unfertilized egg will not hatch or grow into an animal. After a while, it decomposes. Unfertilized chicken eggs are sold as food.

Do all women bleed when the egg is fertilized?

No, they bleed during implantation. When the egg is fertilized, it happens in the space of the fallopian tube. In a sense, the body doesn't "know" there's a fertilized egg until implantation occurs. There are no signs of fertilization before implantation.
