ANATOMY

Detailed explanation-1: -The ovaries are small, oval-shaped glands located on either side of your uterus. They produce and store your eggs (also called ovum) and make hormones that control your menstrual cycle and pregnancy. During ovulation, one of your ovaries releases an egg. If a sperm fertilizes this egg, you can become pregnant.

Detailed explanation-2: -If the egg is not fertilized during the journey, you can expect to get your period about two weeks after you ovulated. Typically, the two ovaries alternate releasing eggs-one month the left ovary released an egg, the next month the right ovary does. Usually, just one egg is released per cycle.

Detailed explanation-3: -One of a pair of female glands in which the eggs form and the female hormones estrogen and progesterone are made. These hormones play an important role in female traits, such as breast development, body shape, and body hair. They are also involved in the menstrual cycle, fertility, and pregnancy.
