are you not in high school yet? Well, two people have sex, sperm tries to make it to an egg in the female body once it does it latches on germinates and then a fetus is made. fetus grows into baby inside amniotic sac, once baby is born comes out of cervix and umbilical cord is cut and theres ur baby.

It is true,  in that when a woman has an orgasm her uterus and cervix contracts in a way that helps draw the sperm inwards. Those internal contractions last for while after the pleasure factor has gone away. I'm sure it does help those little guys make there way in :o)

From the time until just after your period, until your period, your uterus builds up the amount of tissue, so if you happen to get pregnant the uterus has a thicker  lining.  If you don't become pregnant, this extra tissue is not needed, so it is expelled by the body.

When the developing fertilized ovum burrows into the endometrial layer, the layer reacts by becoming spongier. Sometimes there is bleeding then. Go to the library or online and look up the book by Lennart Nilsson called "A Child is Born". You will see pictures.

When a fertilized egg attaches itself to the wall of a uterus, a women may bleed a little, and mistake it for a period.\n\nThey make condoms, out of other stuff besides latex. \n( If that's the problem )\n\n Or you could get the Neva-ring (just be sure to mark when to take it out and put it in, on the calender).

If you are asking when it begins to show life functions, that would be the second the egg is fertilized because that is when it begins constructing itself. If you are asking when it becomes conscious, then there is not a definitive answer. If you are asking when it's "soul" enters it, then please realize that this is a metaphysics question and would be better asked in the Religion section of this website.

the egg stays where it is - in the ovary. it turns into seed there. so the pollen must germinate (into a structure called pollen tube) and this tube grows through the pistil and delivers the germ cells to fertilize the egg. cut open a ripening seed pod of a flower and u will see the growing seeds. or imagine a green pepper cut open or green peas in the pod -  the seeds are attached to something that is called placenta, actually. and before fertilization they were not seeds but eggs. and through this place of attachment they were fertilized. it is not like human egg that itself travels from ovary to uterus and gets fertilized on the way.

During the menstural cycle the body becomes very sesitive to pain due to hormonal influences, hence the sore breasts for some and the terrible pain of abdominal cramps.\nThe cramps themselves are due to the contration of the smooth muscle tissue of the uterus. Smooth muscle is the type of muscle that you have no control over. The uterus contracts during the cycle in order to get rid of the unfertilised ovum (egg) and the linning of the uterine wall (which would have housed the fertilised egg). Its just like giving birth to an unfertilised egg.\n\nIn order to reduce the pain you can either use pain killers which will block the pain receptors in the brain so that although their are contractions your body is not responding to them, or otherwise you can stop the contractions by using medication that will relax the smooth muscle tissue eg buscopan. It is worthy of note that relaxing the muscles of the uterus during mensturation may likely increase the amount of bleeding although you will be pain-free.

This is the tissue that is created to connect the mother and fetus. About a week after conception, the placenta begins to secrete the hormone human chorionic gonadotrophin (hCG). This hormone prolongs the lifespan of the corpus luteum as well as stimulates production of progesterone. During pregnancy, the placenta transports nourishment and takes away waste. Under normal circumstances, your blood does not flow directly into the baby, nor does your baby's blood enter your bloodstream. Among many other tasks, the placenta serves as a blood filter, keeping your blood on one side and that of your baby on the other. Toxins and other substances, however, can pass through the membrane - so be careful what you ingest and breathe!

The uterus is essentially in front of the small intestine, the anterior (front) surface of the uterus lies against the top of the urinary bladder.  Its posterior (back) surface is adjacent to the sigmoid colon (a part of the large intestine) and some of the small intestine. (Womb, rhymes with room, is another name for uterus) The ovaries are found on each side of the lower abdomen, beside the uterus. Between the external skin and these organs are membranes, muscle, blood vessels and fatty tissue.  You, yourself, would be unable to palpate (feel) your uterus or ovaries, however a clinician is able to palpate & examine because of the positioning required.  I'm sorry the first answer didn't answer your question at all.

in a hysterectomy, the uterus is removed...what a lot of people don't know is that whatever sperm doesn't make it to the fellopian tube to catch an egg is actually absorbed into the body and broken down. the sperm is so microscopic that it actually permeates the walls of the vagina and wanders into viscera.

Well, the very basic need of developing embryos are food, water and protection.\nFood is usually provided as vitellum (egg yolk) in most vertebrates (including most fishes), although humans as placental mammals have done without the yolk and have a placenta through which the embryo gets nutrients from the mother.\nIn plants, the seed is an embryo with (usually) large amounts of food. Plant nutrients may be present as carbohydrates (starch, sugars, as in corn seeds), lipids (oils, as in peanut seeds) or even proteins (some beans such as soy).\n\nThe embryo of vertebrates needs to be protected within an aquatic medium, thus eggs either develop in water (as in fishes) or develop inside a capsule/eggshell/body cavity that has water (such as the amniotic sac within the womb in mammals). They also get water from their environment, their mother (in the case of viviparous animals) or metabolism of their food reserves.\n\nPlant embryos are able to extract water from their environment and also partly by metabolization of nutrients.  \n\nProtection is given by rigid shells or other covers that are usually provided by the parent organism, and sometimes (as in the case of the extraembryonic membranes of mammals and others) formed by the developing new being itself.\n\nThese are just some basic points, I hope it helps you to find more information in your textbooks.

You should have researched this one before making such a statement:\nThe uterus is not an organ that is thought to be amenable to transplantation, hence there is no research in this area. Even in the most ideal circumstances it would be extremely unlikely that a transplanted uterus would be able to carry a fetus to maturity. Although organ transplantation is very successful today compared to the past, it is still only accomplished throught the use of toxic drugs that poison one's immune system and cause numerous side effects. Unless one has a life-threatening disease or is reliant on a technology like dialysis to go on living, a transplant is not worth the risk. Until immunosuppression is perfected, a uterus transplant would not be imagineable since the risk would far outweigh the chances of carrying a successful pregnancy. http://www.transweb.org/qa/asktw/answers/answers9701/96032704.html

A period, is the bodys way of letting go of an egg that wasn't fertilized.

It's the cervix.  Don't bump it if it hurts her!!  The cervix is the opening to the uterus... you know, the thing that babies stay inside of for 9 months.
