Anyone know the nitty gritty details of sterilization?

With both Essure and tubal ligation, the Fallopian tubes are made impassable, so the ova can't get from the ovaries to the uterus.

But these procedures do nothing to prevent the ovaries from releasing ova. So where do the ova go?

    I believe the ova disintegrate and are absorbed. Also, I believe that after not being able to travel for a long time, the ovaries stop sending eggs at all. The system kind of dries up.

    That's all *I think*, not *I'm sure*.
