Do you know how many eggs a woman has in her lifetime?

Because each woman's physical condition is different, the number of ovulations will also be different. Generally speaking, a normal female friend can release about 400 eggs in her lifetime. After these eggs are released, they will have a lifespan of 48 hours waiting for fertilization.

1. What does an egg look like?

——The jellyfish full of maternal radiance

I am an egg, a round and smooth ball. When observed under a microscope, it looks more like a beautiful and ethereal planet. I prefer this metaphor - the jellyfish, full of maternal brilliance, is the largest cell in the human body.

When a woman is still a fetus, the number of primordial egg cells is dormant at 7 million. When a baby girl is born, the number of ovaries drops from 7 million to 2 million. By puberty, there are only 500,000 ovaries left in girls. By adulthood, there are only more than 100,000 ovaries left, and the rest degenerate on their own. When a woman's tides rise and fall every month, which primitive cell will mature and slowly swim into the uterus? Only God knows.

2. How long can an egg live?

——48 hours of life, 24 hours of puberty

Compared to the 2-3 day lifespan of sperm, the lifespan of our eggs is shorter, with a maximum lifespan of only 48 hours. Their ability to fertilize is strongest within 24 hours after being released.

If prospective parents want to conceive, it is best to start conceiving before the egg is released so that Mr. Sperm will not miss Miss Egg. Because the meeting and combination of egg and sperm must be completed within 48 hours of egg discharge. If the egg cannot meet the sperm to form a fertilized egg due to various reasons after being released, it will die after 48-72 hours, resulting in the failure of conception, and you can only wait for the next ovulation period.

3. How many eggs does a woman lay in her lifetime?

- Women have about 400 eggs in their lifetime.

Our eggs are the largest cells in the human body. The mature eggs can only be barely seen with the naked eye. We are born with it as women. When a woman is born, millions of undeveloped "follicles" are stored in her ovaries on both sides, and by adulthood, there are only more than 100,000 left. But in a lifetime, only about 400 of them can truly mature, be released by the ovaries, and play the role of creating life. The rest degenerate on their own.

In each reproductive cycle, more than a dozen follicles develop alternately in the two ovaries (or continuously in one ovary), but in the end only one egg matures and is released and can combine with sperm to form an embryo (in a few cases, two or more embryos form twins or multiple births).
