If the egg fails to get fertilized by a sperm it has to be expelled and this process is started by the lowering of progesterone and estrogen levels that causes the uterus lining to break down and release a compound named prostaglandins. Prostaglandins causes the contraction of the uterine muscles that causes the breakdown of the egg and further contractions cause it to expelled through the vagina.
