GENERAL HISTOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -You’re born with all the eggs you’ll ever produce. During fetal development, you have about 6 million eggs. At birth, there are approximately 1 million eggs left. By the time you reach puberty, only about 300, 000 remain.

Detailed explanation-2: -You ovulate one egg per month, usually. This is the single egg that makes it through the whole ovulatory process: the egg follicle is activated, the egg grows and matures, and then-once it reaches maturation-it breaks free from the ovary and begins on its journey down the Fallopian tubes.

Detailed explanation-3: -How many eggs are humans with ovaries born with? As a fetus early in development, a baby with ovaries has around 6 million eggs. The number of these eggs (oocytes, to be precise) is steadily reduced so that when the baby is born, they have between 1 and 2 million eggs left.

Detailed explanation-4: -Female babies are born with all the egg cells they are ever going to have and no new egg cells are made during a woman’s lifetime. An immature egg is called an oocyte – oocytes rest in follicles (fluid-filled sacs that contain an immature egg) in your ovaries until they begin to mature.

Detailed explanation-5: -For example, a woman at 30 often has around 100, 000-150, 000 eggs in reserve. By 35, that number is likely around 80, 000. Late into the thirties, that number could be 25, 000, 10, 000, or fewer.
