Sometimes, a small sample of tissue may be taken with small tools inserted through the vagina during a transvaginal ultrasound. In all three types of pelvic ultrasound, the transducer sends the reflected sound waves to a computer, which makes them into a picture that is shown on a video screen.
Before birth, a fetus starts with around 2 million eggs in each ovary. Those eggs are trimmed down over time, and a girl is born with around 300,000 eggs in each ovary. She â¦normally releases 1 egg a month during her fertile years.
They are located in the pelvis, one on each side of the uterus. The ovaries are connected to each other by the Fallopian tubes. Each ovary is about the size and shape of an almond. The ovaries have two functions: they produce eggs (also called ova) and female hormones. The size of each ovary is about 1.5 inches long. Each month, during the menstrual cycle, an egg is released from one ovary. The egg travels from the ovary through a fallopian tube to the uterus.
