so when there's a female fetus inside your mom you have the most eggs you're ever going to have at about 20 weeks gestation you have about six to seven million eggs
women only menstruate about or only release excuse me about one percent of their eggs which is like four to five hundred menstrual cycles in their lifetime so once a girl goes through puberty and gets into these years of fertility this is when we're releasing these 400 to 500 eggs
a female baby is born with about one to two million oocytes in the ovary and by the time they start menstruating there's only about four hundred thousand left
1 million No, 5 million eggs at conception. 1 million eggs at birth. And you basically ovulate a thousand in your lifetime.
And by the time you're born, there's about two million or so eggs. And by the time you start menstruating, you're down to maybe 400,000 or so.
