I just confirmed this. From a fertility treatment center:
The peak number of eggs a woman ever has takes place at about 20 weeks of gestation (before they are born and still inside their mother’s womb). At this point, they have roughly 6-8 million eggs. No new eggs will ever be made from this point on.
Thanx. This is one more thing I learned from this discussion group.
Say what?
Ovaries produce eggs, that when fertilized by sperm, become women or men eventually..
A girl baby is born with all the eggs she will ever have.
They ripen in the ovaries one by one. However eggs are produced by the fetus in the womb.
