In case of fertilisation of the ovum by a sperm, the corpus luteum persists and continues to secrete progesterone in the body thus maintaining its high levels. The presence of progesterone prevents the maturation of another ovum, thus temporally stopping the menstrual cycle.

X and Y are two human beings. The organ A in the reproductive system of X releases a mature gamete B once a month which goes into a tube-like structure C through a funnel-like opening. The organ D in the reproductive system of Y makes and releases gametes E which pass through a duct F and are introduced by an organ of Y, into the body of X. B and E fuse together in C to form a new cell G. The cell G divides repeatedly to form a ball of cells H which gets embedded in the lining of organ I of reproductive system of X where it grows and develops into a baby.
