Detailed explanation-1: -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. A female foetus has around 4 million eggs.
Detailed explanation-2: -Females are born with between one and two million eggs. The number decreases until a person stops ovulating and reaches menopause. At that point, fewer that 1, 000 remain.
Detailed explanation-3: -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: -The ovaries produce and release eggs (oocytes) into the female reproductive tract at the mid-point of each menstrual cycle.
