How to play this game.
1.I weigh about 4oz when I am not bleeding and typically grow up to 8oz when I am bleeding. I am the place where a fertilized egg implants and develops or does not implant and develop.
I am an organ of sexual arousal and throb during orgasm.
I am the “nursery” that must be healthy in order for a healthy baby to flourish.
The wise and honorable, Don Elijio Panti stated, that if I was out of balance, then the whole woman was out of balance.”
Who am I?________________________________________
Uterus
Body of the Uterus
Fundus of the Uterus
4. I am a gateway to the uterus.
I can take a real pounding during sex if I am positioned wrong and have not been moved out of the way by the round ligament contractions.
I have crypts (like little caves) inside of me that act as sperm hotels and can keep a sperm alive for 5 days.
When the ovaries give me the go ahead with a message of estrogen, I produce slippery “fertile” mucus in my crypts.

Cervix
5. I have a sister gland. We have separate rooms on either side of the uterus.
I am typically the size of an almond, but can grow to a walnut.
It is only proper that I like to hang out on the end of ligament.
I produce the “egg” aka ova.
I also produce estrogen and progesterone hormones.
I sometimes suffer from mittelschmerz.
Ovary
6. I am the smooth muscle and hollow organ that lives between the uterus and the pubic bone.
I can be wee little or I can hold up to 12 oz when full.
When the uterus has wandered and leans onto me, I often feel full before really I am.
The median umbilical ligament is attached to the top of me and then to the navel.
Urinary Bladder
Pubic Symphysis
8. I am a tube about 4 to 5 inches long. I live between the urinary bladder and the rectum in the pelvis.
The cervix likes to travel up and down me during the menstrual cycle.
The cervix tends to drop into my lower regions, when a woman is less fertile and then she moves higher into my vault when a woman is fertile.
I sometimes play hostess to the penis during sex.

Vagina
9. I am the tube that guides the egg (ovum) into the uterus from the ovary, thus I am sometimes called “oviduct.” I am also called the “Uterine Tube.”
I like to play match maker and try my best to create a space for the egg and the sperm to meet. I can get blocked and this may make fertilization difficult.
My mucosal lining is continuous with the lining of the abdominal cavity.

Fallopian Tube
Fimbriae
11. Nobody really likes to think about me, but I am really important! I can be the butt of jokes.
If I did not exist, then there would be no place for feces to wait for its turn to exit the body. My personal space can be encroached upon when the uterus is out of place.
