Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Over the course of a lifetime your ovaries will release about 500 eggs in their mature form. When the supply of eggs runs out, your ovaries cease to make estrogen, and you will go through the menopause. For most women this happens around the age of 50: the average age in the developed world is 51.4 years1.
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.
