Ovulation
• One of the things that happens during puberty is the production of hormones by the ovaries.
• Estrogen is the female hormone that causes the changes of puberty: physical growth, development of the ovaries, breast development, body hair and body shape.
• Each month an ovum (egg cell) matures and ripens.

Ovulation
• At the same time, the lining of the uterus (endometrium) builds up, preparation for a fertilized egg.
• The ovum takes a four to six day trip down the fallopian tubes into the uterus. Occasionally, two or more ova are released at the same time.
• If the egg is not fertilized, the uterus will know that the endometrium is not needed.
