Menstruation only happens if the ovum is not fertilized on it's way through the fallopian tube, in which case the ovum disintegrates, and the uterine lining is shed.
I don't think there's much chance of recovering a viable egg cell from the menstrual flow, but if you were going to try anyway, you'd probably do well to ally yourself with a woman who uses a menstrual cup rather than pads or tampons, as you'd want to be able to collect the blood directly. Also keep in mind that menstruation lasts at least 4-5 days (usually heaviest on days 2-3), so you'd probably need to either process samples continuously, or figure out a way to keep the first samples from coagulating in cold storage?

And in english even more complicated :DAs you probably noticed, I'm not a gynaecologist :P Pretty complicated stuff.German wikipedia says that each ovulation yields 10-20 follicles (egg cells+accompanying cells). So 9 to 19 egg cells are useless and perhaps be excreted to? Discarded with urine?Isn't it that the egg wanders from the ovary into the cervix during ovulation? And by menstruating it is excreted out off the body?> Um, women release an egg each month during ovulation, not menstruation.

I've heard from a few people I know that work at one of the most respected antibody companies in the country say Santa Cruz is their biggest competitor, mainly because they have about 75,000 antibodies to offer, but supposedly most of pretty bad quality and purity. Quantity vs quality I guess.I suppose there will always be companies that make OK to crappy products and charge less money and those that make premium products and charge for it. You get what you pay for as the old adage goes.I remember when bodybuilding.com got fined a bunch of money for putting steroids in their "all natural hormone booster". Who knows whether the fines were significant to their overall cash flow but, it's odd when a company can do illegal things, and the cash-flow generated from those services/products heavily outweighs the fines they receive.--To view this discussion on the web visit https://groups.google.com/d/msgid/diybio/CAGdeWmTL7y44WmhP6M7JKs%3DESaa9_kru10EMAjkvtaBrfgipvQ%40mail.gmail.com?hl=en.
