Detailed explanation-1: -Current knowledge indicates that females are born with their entire lifetime supply of gametes. At birth, the normal female ovary contains about 1-2 million/oocytes (eggs). Females are not capable of making new eggs, and in fact, there is a continuous decline in the total number of eggs each month.
Detailed explanation-2: -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.
Detailed explanation-3: -How many eggs do women have after puberty? The number of dead eggs per month decreases after puberty. After the onset of the menstrual cycle, women release about 1, 000 immature eggs per month, about 30-35 per day.
