Question

What happens if an egg is not fertilized after being released from the ovary

Answer 1

every 28 days or so one mature egg is released from the ovary. This is called ovulation. After the egg is released, it moves into the fallopian tube where it stays for about 24 hours. If the egg is not fertilized the egg disintegrates and menstruation begins 2 weeks later

Answer 2

If the egg is not fertilized during that time, the egg disintegrates (breaks down) and menstruation (your period) begins 2 weeks later.
