During the time that the girl is releasing the egg which is also known as ovulation, the uterus wall thickens in preparation of receiving a fertilized egg. If the egg is not fertilized the girl starts discharging blood from the lining of the uterus and this process is called menstruation and it usually takes 4 to 7 days.
