The process by which eggs are made is called ovulation. More specifically, in females, eggs are produced through a process known as oogenesis. Oogenesis begins during fetal development, and by the time a female is born, she already has all the eggs she will ever have. However, these eggs remain dormant until puberty. During each menstrual cycle, a mature egg is released from one of the ovaries and travels down the fallopian tube, where it may be fertilized by sperm. If fertilization does not occur, the egg disintegrates and is eliminated during menstruation.
