Some women note an exacerbation of smell and taste sensations, this is due to the release of special hormones - pheromones.
A mature egg is released into the fallopian tube, ready for fertilization within 12-24 hours. If at this time there are spermatozoa near her, then conception is likely to occur.
If the egg was fertilized, then it will begin to divide and move through the tubes to the uterus and after 6-12 days will attach to its wall, if conception does not happen, it will die, giving a signal to start a new menstrual cycle in the future.
