Your egg goes from your ovary into your fallopian tubes-where it would be fertilized if there was sperm waiting for it. If no sperm, the egg travels into the uterus -the egg dies 6-24 hours after being released from the ovary. If no fertilization, the egg travels into the uterus (usually takes a week) then the lining of your uterus is shed-causing your period. If everything is working correctly-it is approx 14 days after ovulation that you will get your period

hope that helps
