Detailed explanation-1: -During ovulation, one of your ovaries releases an egg. If a sperm fertilizes this egg, you can become pregnant. Your ovaries continue to release an egg each menstrual cycle until you reach menopause.
Detailed explanation-2: -ovulation, release of a mature egg from the female ovary; the release enables the egg to be fertilized by the male sperm cells. Normally, in humans, only one egg is released at one time; occasionally, two or more erupt during the menstrual cycle.
Detailed explanation-3: -In some cycles, it’s possible for both ovaries to release an egg cell. This is called multiple ovulation or hyperovulation. When both eggs are fertilized, fraternal twins are conceived.
Detailed explanation-4: -You’re born with all the eggs you’ll ever produce. During fetal development, you have about 6 million eggs. At birth, there are approximately 1 million eggs left. By the time you reach puberty, only about 300, 000 remain.
