159 Eggs (ova) are released usually once every 28 days from an ovary. The 28 day cycle is called the Menstrual Cycle, and an ovum is released from one ovary one month, then the next month it is released from the other ovary. The ova are all present when a baby girl is born, but they do not mature until puberty. They should then be released once every month until the menopause (about the age of 50). The ovum is wafted into the end of the fallopian tube (oviduct). Inside the fallopian tube there are special cells with cilia. The cilia all move together to waft the ovum towards the womb (uterus). The ovum is only alive for a few days, so if it is going to be fertilised, this will happen in the fallopian tube (oviduct). If the ovum is not fertilised, it continues until it reaches the uterus, (womb), and leaves the body during the next menstrual period.
