Detailed explanation-1: -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. The number of eggs you have continues to decline as you age and menstruate each cycle.
Detailed explanation-2: -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-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: -Toward the end of puberty, girls begin to release eggs as part of a monthly period called the menstrual cycle. About once a month, during ovulation, an ovary sends a tiny egg into one of the fallopian tubes.
