A member asked:
Is it true that woman lose 90% of their eggs when they hit the age of 30?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes,but still plenty: This may be technically true,but most of the loss occurs before puberty.Women are born with 1-2 million immature eggs.That dwindles to 400,000 by puberty. Women only ovulate about 400 times in their life so there are plenty of extras.The concern is more about quality than quantity. Few 30 yo's have fertility problems but the rate of problems increases around age 35. See http://tinyurl.com/jy7lvw6
