Hi there in an new to this group and I have a question. I had a very traumatic child birth due to preeclampsia then shortly after I had an ectopic pregnancy. The result of all this is that I have had both my tubes removed but I still have my ovaries and I still have a period every month. I wondered what happens to my eggs each month?
Thank you

Re: No tubes so where do my eggs go?
Dear pcvrod46,
I am so sorry to hear of your ectopic pregnancy and loss,
I am not medically trained so cannot give you specific answers to your question but my understanding is that each month, an egg cell ripens in one ovary or the other and is pushed to the surface of the ovary. From there it is expelled into the fluid surrounding your ovary, basically just into your abdominal cavity. Eggs are just cells like blood cells, skin cells, etc and cells expire internally all the time, and are "re-absorbed" by the body.
Please feel free to continue to use the forums for information and advice for as long as you need,
Sending much love,
