Lining of uterus undergoes periodic changes and gradually thickens with influence of hormones. When oocytes are not fertilized, the lining of uterus would naturally shed, together with the oocytes released, to form "menstruation".

There is a chance of fallopian tube blockage that hinder fertilization and affect successful rate of pregnancy.
