do you develop and egg after or before your period?

Answer 1

The eggs are developed continuously in the ovary and a new egg is released every time after the menstrual flow is completed. In this connection you should know about the menstrual cycle.

During the menstrual cycle, the sexually mature female body builds up the lining of the uterus with gradually increasing amounts of estrogen, and when this hormone reaches a critical level, estradiol is produced, and shortly thereafterward there is the stimulation of the ovaries with Follicle Stimulating Hormone (FSH), and luteinizing hormone (LH). Follicles begin developing, and within a few days one "matures" into an ovum or egg. The ovary then releases this egg, (or occasionally two, which might result in dizygotic, or fraternal/non-identical, twins) at the time of ovulation. (Identical twins form from a single egg, as a result of the zygote splitting.) The lining of the uterus, the endometrium, peaks shortly there afterward in a synchronised fashion. After ovulation, this lining changes to prepare for potential conception and implantation of the fertilized egg to establish a pregnancy. The hormone progesterone rises after ovulation, and peaks shortly thereafter.

If fertilization and pregnancy do not ensue, the uterus sheds the lining, culminating with menstruation, which marks the low point for estrogen activity. This manifests itself to the outer world in the form of the menses (also menstruum): essentially part of the endometrium and blood products that pass out of the body through the vagina. Although this is commonly referred to as blood, it differs in composition from venous blood. Menstrual cycles are counted from the beginning of menstruation, because this is an outside sign that corresponds closely with the hormonal cycle. Menses, or bleeding and other menstrual signs may end at different points in the new cycle.

Answer 2

There are many eggs in the ovary.

The egg is released from either ovary about midway between periods. Fertilization occurs when the egg is in the Fallopian tube. The fertilized egg then travels down to the lining of the uterus where it implants. The uterus is already ready to take care of it and nourish the new child when it arrives at that portion of the anatomy.

If fertilization of the egg does not take place, it will be shed along with the lining during your period.

About two weeks after your period, the process of the egg being released from an ovary occurs again

A normal span between periods is 28 days give or take a few.

Answer 3

The develops before your period. This process is known as Ovulation. Each month, you body prepares itself for a possible pregnancy. By releasing FSH, Follicle Stimulating Hormone, this process causes approx. 20-40 eggs to mature in individual follicles inside your ovaries. Each follicle produces a hormone called Estrogen. When enough Estrogen has been produced, usually 12-18 days after this cycle begins, a ripened egg bursts from the most mature follicle. It is immediately swept through the fallopian tubes. If the egg is fertilizied, it will spend the next few weeks traveling through the fallopian tubes into the uterus where it will burrow itself and begin the process of developing into a baby. If it is not fertilizied it will disinegrate within 24 hours and be reabsorbed into the body or pass out with the menstrual flow.

Answer 4

An already developed egg begins to mature/ripen a day or two after your last period. The mature egg is then released into the fallopian tube for fertilization approx. 11 days from the time it first started to mature/ripen.

Answer 5

Before your period. That is the reason for your period, it washes the egg out.

Answer 6

you dont develop eggs. you are born with all the eggs u will ever have. you just ovulate the minute after ur period ends

Answer 7

Well you don't develop eggs, they just exist, and they are released two weeks after your period.

Answer 8

You already have the eggs. You release one after your period each month. If it is not fertilized then your period comes on again and the cycle begins again.........

Answer 9

You are born with eggs in your ovaries. Each month after you reach puberty one will rippen and break through the ovary and travel down your fallopian tube. If no sperm is there to greet it, it travels to the uterus and plants itself into the lining causing it to shed and thats what makes you bleed. So the answer is before.

Answer 10

Mid way, thats ovulation, then your period is the shedding of that egg.
