Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Human females begin forming all the eggs they will ever have during prenatal development. By the time a female fetus is born, she has all the immature eggs she will ever have - about one to two million. Throughout childhood, around 11-12 years old, puberty occurs, and hormones prompt the eggs to mature at a rate of one per month, which lasts until menopause.
