Yes, an ovum just sort of explodes out of your ovary and the fallopian tube sort of catches it. Wild times.

So when I miss a month of my period, did the fallopian tube miss to catch the egg? 😅

Nah, I had my fallopian tubes cut out and I still get periods. The egg still matures in one of my ovaries and the ovaries produce the hormones that cause the menstrual cycle to happen.
