The Female Reproductive System. The female reproductive system provides several functions. The ovaries produce the female egg cells, called the ova or oocytes. The oocytes are then transported to the fallopian tube where fertilization by a sperm may occur. The fertilized egg then moves to the uterus, where the uterine lining has thickened in response to the normal hormones of the reproductive cycle. Once in the uterus the fertilized egg can implant into thickened uterine lining and continue to develop.
How the menstrual cycle works. 1  Your cycle starts on the first day of your period and continues up to the first day of your next period. 2  At the same time, eggs begin to mature in the ovary. 3  The lining of the womb starts to thicken in readiness for fertilisation. During ovulation your cervical mucus becomes thinner and clearer to help the sperm to reach the released egg. About 10 to 16 days before the start of your next period, an egg is released from one of the ovaries (ovulation). If sperm is present at the moment of ovulation, or some time during the next 24 hours, the egg may be fertilised.
