During fetal life, about 6 million to 7 million eggs are produced. After that, no new egg will be produced.
Most of the eggs within the ovaries gradually die, until they are depleted at menopause. At birth, about 1 million eggs are left and at puberty, only about 300,000 remain. Of these, 300 to 400 will be ovulated during a woman's reproductive lifetime. Women, did you know that the eggs continue to degenerate during pregnancy, with the use of birth control pills, and in the presence or absence of regular menstrual cycles?
Clock is ticking...
