When a baby girl is born she comes with a storehouse of eggs in her ovaries and she will never be able to produce anymore. When she becomes mature and begins to go through puberty, only around 15 of her 20000 eggs will make an attempt at maturation in any cycle. Follicle stimulating hormone acts as a communicator and tells the egg that it is time for its release. Every egg is enclosed in a follicle all its own, the follicles contains estrogen.
Once the estrogen starts going through the follicle it starts to stimulate the maturity of the eggs. The egg that is considered to be the most ready is then released from the ovary, the others break apart and disintegrate. A hormone called the luteinizing hormone is actually released by the estrogen, this hormone is actually the catalyst for the egg being triggered for release.
The follicle that was previously spoken of then transforms into what is known as the corpus luteum. The corpus luteum takes on a special job. It begins releasing both estrogen and progesterone which blocks any other eggs from being released. Sometimes however the hormones fail and a second one forces itself to be released this will often produce fraternal twins if both eggs get fertilized.
The Corpus luteum gives the lining of the uterus enough time to develop the strength it will need to support a fertilized egg. The corpus luteum is constantly secreting progesterone this makes the cervix produce cervical mucus, this cervical mucus allows the sperm to swim freely to the egg, as you can see everything works like clockwork.
As you can see much takes place in a woman's body, in order for menstruation to occur and all these thing need to occur like clockwork in order for a woman to either conceive or end up menstruating. Occasionally problems occur where hormones are not being released as they should be and it may cause problems with fertility or menstruation.
There are many things that take place in the female body, that makes the process of menstruation take place. The body seems to have a clock all its own and everything works together like a well oiled machine. There are times though when the machine is not totally in sync and hormones do not do what they should and ovulation and menstruation do not take place or one takes place and the other doesn't irregular or non-existent periods are a clear indicator that something is wrong and you need to consult your doctor, especially if you are trying to get pregnant.
