Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -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.

Detailed explanation-2: -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. By the time a girl enters puberty, only about 25% of her lifetime total egg pool remains, around 300, 000.

Detailed explanation-3: -When a baby girl is born, the number of oocytes steadily drops to between 1 and 2 million, and the number keeps decreasing by 10, 000 each month before puberty. When a girl reaches puberty, she has between 300, 000-400, 000 eggs, yet the monthly loss of oocytes slows down to 1, 000.
