The University of St. Andrews and Edinburgh University in Scotland has published a study stating that women lose 90% of their eggs by the age of thirty. Only 3% of the eggs women are born with remain at the age of 40.
Interesting statistics:
- No eggs are developed after birth
- A female fetus has 7 million oocytes
- An estimated 400 eggs are released during a woman’s reproductive life
- A female is born with 600,000 eggs
- A female has 400,000 eggs during puberty
Maintaining a healthy weight and monitoring stress levels is believed to be a way that women can slow this process of losing fertility.
