PATHOLOGY

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.

Detailed explanation-2: -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-3: -Because many eggs start to develop but die off before being ovulated, a woman goes through roughly 300, 000-400, 000 eggs in their reproductive years, but only ovulates 300-400 eggs. The average woman runs out of eggs and starts menopause around the egg of 52.

Detailed explanation-4: -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.
