@insidehealthlab4: What happens to your egg after ovulation? Once an egg is released from the ovary, it travels into the fallopian tube, where it can be fertilized by sperm. If fertilization occurs, the developing embryo continues to the uterus and may implant in the uterine lining. If the egg is not fertilized within about 12–24 hours, it breaks down and is naturally absorbed by the body. Understanding this process can help you better understand your menstrual cycle, fertility, and reproductive health.#Ovulation #Fertility #MenstrualCycle #ReproductiveHealth #tryingtoconceive
