why do we bleed when we have our period and do we release our eggs when we bleed?

Question

why do we bleed, do we regenerate blood? and do we release eggs when we have it and also, do we make more eggs if we do release them?

Answer 1

when we bleed, what is actually happening is the lining of our uterus shedding...when the body realizes it is not pregnant, the lining is not needed (as it's used to help a fertilized egg grow and become a fetus). You do not generally ovulate during your period. The first day of your period is day one of your cycle...ovulation usually occurs on days 12-17. This is also the time that the lining is regenerating - getting ready for a possible fertilized egg...when there is none, it sheds and thus you have your period - and start the cycle over.

we are born with a specific amount of eggs in our ovaries, so no ... eggs don't regenerate, but there's more than enough to last a woman to menopause.

Your period is part of a montly cycle. The cycle is designed to give you a chance to get pregnant, and if you get pregnant to stay pregnant.

The first day of your period is considered the first day of your monthly cycle. Your progesterone hormone level drops off. It is your body's way of telling you that you are not pregnant. And, if you are not pregnant, you don't need that rich, thick tissue lining inside your womb. So, your body let's just a little of that tissue slough off, and that is your period.

During the next few weeks, your body prepares a new "bed" so to speak for a new egg. For two weeks, the lining builds up more. Your body prepares to release an egg.

About 2 weeks (usually) after your period, you release an egg. It takes several days to travel down the fallopian tubes to the uterus. If it combines with a sperm and forms a new life, then it will start releasing hormones immediately, even before it gets to the uterus. These hormones help preserve the uterus while the baby is developing. That is why you don't have a period if you are pregnant.

If you release an egg that does not get fertilized, it passes out the body in a week or so (about 3 weeks after your previous period). It is microscopic--the size of one cell--and you don't notice it. It probabaly has dissolved in some form before it even gets outside your body.

You body will notice if the egg is not fertilized because there are no hormones being released from a fertilzed egg. So, the uterus begins to slowly die off a little, and you have your period. The cycle begins again.

Every human constantly makes blood. It is made in the bone marrow, and it is unrelated to your periods except that if your periods are very heavy or very long, it can take your body a long time to catch up and make enough blood.

You are born with all the eggs you will ever have. Every month, one is selected by chance to be the one released that month.

I hope that helps.

Answer 3

During the month the female body beings collecting blood in the reproductive system to assist in the beginnings of a pregnancy should it occur and the egg is in the uterus at the time but once the body realized the egg wont be fertalized, it release the egg and all the blood it had been holding for the pregnancy. Your body constantly makes blood if need be, and your ovaries will produce eggs as needed as well. Good luck and be safe.

Answer 4

Eggs are realized during ovulation which is usually about half way in between cycles. Eggs do not regenerate, this is why women go through menopause. As for why we bleed its to shed off the lining that was built up in preparation for being pregnant.

Answer 5

first of all, i just wanna let u know that the blood we released uring menstration is not the same blood in our body... the blood is from the disintegrated polar cells in our ovaries... every month our ovary produces egg cells... i think u know mitosis and meosis right? well in the ovary, actually 4 cells are produced one is the egg cell we know... 3 are the polar cells which would help in strenthening the lining of the uterus... as the egg wont be fertilized, the egg die and disintegrate along with the polar cells in the uterus lining and go out of the vaginal canal as blood... thus it has also a different color and odor...

Answer 6

everything is like a cycle that women have so much of eggs and blood because if we didnt we couldnt take care of another human being inside of us. yes when you have your period you give eggs and blood does recycle itself you can say. just think about the aspect of carrying a child. you need these things for reproducing.

Answer 7

through fact the uterus is removing its liner (because you probably did no longer get pregnant, so there isn't any egg nesting in it) and it contracts to get the tissues out. that's what motives cramps. The blood comes from the uterus partitions the place this is laying off the previous liner. this is plenty like changing the sheets on your mattress!
