What happens during your period?

Question

To be more specific, I mean to the eggs, and the inside..? What causes the blood, ect? :]

Answer 1

when the egg comes down the fallopian tube, and it hasn't been fertilized by sperm, it is non viable when it hits the uterus. the uterus has been thickening its lining all month with blood in preparation for a fertilized egg. when the egg arrives, and its no good, the body flushes it and the excess uterine lining away as a period. then the whole process starts again for the next time. if you ever do become pregnant, the body wants a nice fresh lining for the baby. that's why it is always repeated.

Answer 2

i wish there were no such thing as periods

women are unlucky

Answer 3

The lining of the womb thickens for a fertilised egg to embed into. If there is no fertilisation the lining comes away as blood ie your period

Answer 4

About once a month, a tiny egg leaves one of the ovaries — a process called ovulation — and travels down one of the fallopian tubes toward the uterus. In the days before ovulation, the hormone estrogen stimulates the uterus to build up its lining with extra blood and tissue, making the walls of the uterus thick and cushioned. This happens to prepare the uterus for pregnancy: If the egg is fertilized by a sperm cell, it travels to the uterus and attaches to the cushiony wall of the uterus, where it slowly develops into a baby.

If the egg isn't fertilized, though — which is the case during most of a woman's monthly cycles — it doesn't attach to the wall of the uterus. When this happens, the uterus sheds the extra tissue lining. The blood, tissue, and unfertilized egg leave the uterus, going through the v****a on the way out of the body. This is a menstrual period. This cycle happens almost every month for several more decades (except, of course, when a female is pregnant) until a woman reaches menopause and no longer releases eggs from her ovaries.

Answer 5

alls i know is that your uterus's muscle is shedding that is where the blood comes from

Answer 6

blood lines the inside of your uterus to protect the development of a baby. when no baby develops, the blood 'drains', hence your period. eggs pop off your ovaries hoping a sperm will find its way to it... they come out, too, during your period (im pretty sure, i could be wrong about that last part) but this is basically whats happening when you get your period

Answer 7

Ok, here goes: After you mature, hormones are secreted   from various glands in your body. Inside your uterus, blood vessels form to nurture and  prepare for the egg. Inside your ovary, eggs are maturing and getting ready to be discharged into your Fallopian tubes where the egg will gently make it way down into your uterus. It sits there for a time waiting to see if a sperm with fertilize it. If you don't have s*x and the egg does not get fertilized, it will die and the bloods vessel in your uterus lining will break away and you start to bleed. The blood flows down through the opening of your uterus called the cervix. It flows through your vaginal canal to your opening and onto your underwear or your tampax or your pad. at that point you are having your period.

Answer 8

The uterus develops a thick layer of tissue rich in blood (called the endomedtrium) for an egg to embed in when you become pregnant.  About mid-cycle, your ovary will release an egg, and it will travel down the fallopian tube.  If it meets sperm, it will become fertilized and embed in the lining and you're pregnant.  If it is not fertilized, it dies, and the egg along with the lining for that month are shed and you have your period.  Then the process starts all over again.
