Pregnancy is the result of the fertilization of the female egg by the sperm. Each ovary produces ovum every month. This process is called ovulation. If there’s sexual intercourse between a man and a woman at the period when the ovum is produced, the sperm will fertilize. The result is Pregnancy. If there’s no sexual intercourse, the released ovum will die and after a day or two, menstruation starts.
