No, 80 fertilized eggs are not flushed away during mestruation. If an egg is actually fertilized by a sperm cell, it will embed itself and grow in the woman's uterus while developing into a baby. This is why a woman will not get her period if she is pregnant. The reason a woman experiences menstraution is because the egg her ovary released was not fertilized and the lining of her uterus (which would have been the "home" for the fertilized egg) is not needed. This lining (mostly blood) and the unfertilized egg are shed during menstruation.
Therefore, every "period" a woman has represents at least one unfertilized egg being discarded by the body. During a woman's life, she will have around 450 periods. However, a woman is born with up to 500,000 eggs, and the 450 periods she has represent only a fraction of her eggs that achieved maturity (meaning mature enough to be fertilized), a process controlled by hormones.

Actually the above answer is not true. It is completely possible for a woman's body to rinse out fertilized eggs via her period.
Ovulation occurs at the halfway point during a woman's menstrual cycle. The average cycle is 28 days, so average ovulation is day 14. Ovulation is when the body releases one egg to be fertilized. Since sperm can live in the cervix up to 5 days, it's possible for a woman to get pregnant when she isn't ovulating.
Once an egg is fertilized in the fallopian tubes, it has to travel to the uterus. It can take 5-10 days for this to happen. Because many women can start their periods while this process is taking place, and most due, it flushes the fertilized eggs out of the body onto sanitary napkins. Because it's impossible for scientists to determine how often this happens, it's estimated between 60 and 80 percent of fertilized eggs.
What stops the woman's period is the fertilized egg that has entered the uterus. That is when pregnancy officially begins

The second answer is more likely to be right because George Carlin uses that fact when he is debating about abortion.

Why does the fertilized eggs go and in plant itself?
Fertilized eggs implant themselves on the uterine lining to provide a place for the placenta to develope. The placenta attaches the baby to the mother via umbillical cord to supply nourishment, oxygen, and blood to the fetus. Occasionally (not very often) the fertilized egg will implant itself in the fallopian tube in which case is called an ectopic pregnancy. Ectopic pregnancies must be terminated due to the high risk of killing the mother as well as the fetus. If an egg doesnt implant it will be expelled with the uterine lining that sheds during a womans period.
How does the blood leave the body during menstrution?

Does women loose blood after menstruating how can it be recovered?
The blood lost during menstruation comes from the uterine lining that had built-up over the coarse of the woman's menstrual cycle, it doesn't come from a womans main blood supply. As long as a woman is healthy there is no loss from menstruation, and nothing needs to be done to 'recover' anything.

Where is the zygote in the human body?
what do you mean by out side. you mean when an egg is fertilized outside of the womans body or did you mean the path the zygote takes once its formed? the zygote inside of a woman is fertilized for about 3 days and latches onto the uterus and then becomes an embryo.... if you mean by a sex clinic (fertilization clinic) its fertilized by a sperm donor and on a petri dish and it fertilizes. theres more than one egg due to the fact not all might make it. then when the egg is fertilized the put it back in the womans uterus and then again it becomes an embryo and latches onto the uterus :P hope that helps-
Where do the egg cells travel through in the womans body?
Egg cells will travel through the Fallopian, or uterine, tube to the uterus where it will implant if it was fertilized.
When your girl is not on her period can she get pregnant?
Yes, although it is biologically impossible to get pregnant during menstruation, a woman can get pregnant as a result of sex during menstruation. Let me explain... During menstruation a woman will not ovulate, however if a womans menstrual cycle is short she may be producing fertile quality cervical mucus during menstruation. This mucus protects sperm in the vagina and helps it to swim up through the cervical opening to reach the fallopian tubes, where it can lay in weight for the egg during ovulation - sperm can survive up to a week in these conditions, by which time menstruation could stop and she could ovulate. If sexually active you should always use birth control, unless you use fertility awareness methods you have no way of knowing when a woman is fertile or not.
What is a womans period?
A woman's period is what happens when a females uterus has one or occasionally two eggs that is not fertilized by a male in a certain amount of time. The egg must come out, so the egg comes out with a bit of blood. How you get it fertilized by a male is through sex.
What is a period during which a womans menstruatiol cycle slows and eventually stops?

Briefly outline the steps in a womans menstrual cycle?
During a woman's menstrual cycle, she will begin to ovulate. During ovulation, the ovary releases an egg. If the egg is not fertilized, it will continue to make its way down into the uterus. The uterus will begin to shed its lining since it is not needed. The lining of the uterus and the egg will be expelled from the vagina. This step of the menstrual cycle is what is refered to as the period.
