Soon after the egg is released, the automatic hormone mechanism sends another chemical messenger to the ovaries, telling them not to release any more ripe eggs-to guard against multiple or superimposed pregnancies. If there has been no fertilization, the uterus again gets ready to slough off its lining, and the cycle is repeated...
