Is it true that an egg only travels in one fallopian tube each month?

The term ovulation generally refers to the period immediately following the release of a mature egg from the female ovary. In the case of humans, women are born with millions of immature eggs which remain in the ovaries. When a female reaches her teen years, her body begins to develop one (occasionally more than one) egg per month to maturity and release it. Once mature, the egg is released and travels down her fallopian tubes toward her uterus. There is a window of approximately 24 hours during which the egg can be fertilized by a male sperm. If fertilized, the egg slowly continues down the fallopian tubes during the next week or so before reaching and attaching itself to the lining of the woman's uterus which has thickened in preparation for receiving the fertilized egg. If not fertilized, the egg begins to disintegrate and is ultimately discharged from the body. Menstruation occurs about two weeks after ovulation if there is no fertilized egg to attach to the uterus. Menstruation is the result of the uterus shedding the thickened layer that was formed to receive the fertilized egg and is no longer needed if the egg was not fertilized.





About releasing one or more eggs:


While women normally produce and release one mature egg per month, they can at times produce and release two or more eggs at one time. If this occurs it is possible for one or more of the eggs to be fertilized which gives rise to fraternal twins, triplets, etc. whose genetic make-up will differ as it does with single birth siblings. This is opposed to identical twins, triplets, etc. which result when one egg is produced, fertilized and then splits into two or more embryos. Many women who are unable to conceive are often treated with fertility drugs many of which operate by stimulating their body to ovulate. However, the stimulation often results in multiple rather than a single egg maturing and being released and this leads to multiple eggs being fertilized and multiple births.

yes, it alternates each month. i doubt you'd know which unless u get an ovulation pain - i get these, but they last for a second or two, like sharp but small period pains on one or t'other side of the uterus. then you'd feel which side was ovulating. when u know when you're supposed to be ovulating, try and be more aware of this, and try and notice! good luck.Is it true that an egg only travels in one fallopian tube each month?
you normally ovulate one egg from one ovary every month. so yes, there is only one egg in one tube every month.
Yes, this is true for most people. But, some cases an egg can be released into both fallopian tubes, hence fraternal twins (not identical).
yes, it alternates each month, sometimes women get a pain in one of there sides when they are ovulating.
If it wasn't then nearly every birth would be twins or more.
yes its called ovulation that is the best chance for you to get pregnant when you ovulate.
Yes, in most woman it swaps each month from one to the other.
yes
Yes. One from one side one month and from the other side the next
