That sounds like a\u00a0lot, but interestingly enough, female fetuses actually have far more egg cells when they are in the mother\u2019s womb\u2014sometimes as many as six or seven million eggs.<\/p>\n<p>When egg cells are still immature, they are also referred to as oocytes. By the time a woman reaches puberty, there are only a fraction of those oocytes left\u2014usually about 300,000.<\/p>\n<p>During her <a href=\"https:\/\/www.merckmanuals.com\/home\/women-s-health-issues\/biology-of-the-female-reproductive-system\/female-internal-genital-organs\">reproductive lifespan<\/a>, only about 500 of a woman\u2019s eggs are <a href=\"https:\/\/www.avawomen.com\/avaworld\/the-ovulation-process\/\">ovulated<\/a>. The remaining eggs that are left behind die out during menopause.<\/p>\n<p>Prior to menopause, women typically lose a thousand or so eggs every month. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2013\/02\/01\/booming\/womens-eggs-diminish-with-age.html?_r=0\">Egg death<\/a> is a natural part of the cycle of the female\u00a0reproductive system.<\/p>\n<p>Just as important as the quantity of a woman\u2019s eggs is the quality of them. As women age, their <a href=\"https:\/\/www.advancedfertility.com\/age.htm\">egg quality<\/a> declines due to an increased percentage of chromosomal abnormalities in eggs. When the quality of eggs declines, it can be harder for a woman to get pregnant. Eggs of poor quality may not fertilize, or, if they do get fertilized, it\u00a0may not develop significantly enough to be implanted in the uterus. A low-quality egg could also fail to sustain health long enough to continue adequate fetal development even if implanted. So, egg quantity is not the only factor to consider while TTC\u2014quality is just as important.<\/p>\n<p>Every individual is unique, and while age is a determining factor in a woman\u2019s fertility, it\u2019s possible for a woman as young as 30 to experience egg quality or quantity issues, whereas a 43 year-old woman could still be fertile enough to achieve conception.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Typically, women are born with approximately one to two million ova.
