Usually an egg is released for ovulation cycle and the egg can survive for 12 to 24 hours after leaving the ovary. If the sperm does not fertilize the egg during this period, the egg disintegrates and gets absorbed into the uterine lining. WHAT IS ANOVULATION? Anovulation is the non-release of eggs. It means that a woman is not ovulating; she does not release an egg each month. A woman can have "bleeding" each month but that does not necessarily mean she is ovulating. In anovulation, if the bleeding occurs at the same time each month (making her think it is  menstruation) it is actually break-through bleeding caused by low oestrogen. Most women will have no bleeding. REASONS FOR ANOVULATION: * Breast-feeding * Excessive weight gain or loss * Illness * Quitting birth control...

Did you know that Margaret Thatcher, former British Prime Minister, ate eggs daily as a major part of weight-loss program in 1979? One egg is about 70 calories and has 6 grams of protein and 5 grams of fat. The egg white portion of the egg contains about 3.5 grams of the total protein. The remaining 2.5 grams plus the 5 grams of fat are in the yolk. In order to safely enjoy an egg every day without worrying about accumulating bad cholesterol or Low Density Lipoprotein (LDL) , just eat the egg white and throw away the yolk.
