I’m an uneducated man on this subject. Please don’t judge. I thought women release a single egg every cycle normally and that would add up to about 600 eggs in a lifetime, if that were the case. Thanks for the knowledge!

When the ovaries develop in utero, there are about 6 million eggs in them. By the time the baby is born, there are 1-2 million. Before puberty, a girl loses about 10,000 eggs per month. After puberty, her hormones have a protective effect and she only loses about 1,000 a month.
After puberty, only one egg matures and drops per month; the rest just resorb.
