How many times does a woman have the best chance of getting pregnant in her lifetime?

I am Miss Ovum, the reproductive cell of female organisms. Both animals and seed plants produce me - "Miss Egg". In higher organisms, I am produced by the ovaries. All mammals have immature me in their ovaries when they are born, and their number does not increase after birth.

Miss Egg is gone forever

I am produced by what are commonly known as female gonads - the ovaries, and are about 0.2mm in diameter. The main function of the ovaries, in addition to secreting the sex hormones necessary for women, is to produce me - "Miss Egg". My life began with the beginning of women's life. The rudiments of the ovaries are formed in women during the embryonic period, and women have millions of follicles in their lifetime, but they gradually decrease over time.

Before a woman is born, millions of primary oocytes have formed in her ovaries; by the time of birth, there are about 2 million left; after childhood, most follicles degenerate; by puberty, only about 300,000 remain; by adulthood, only about 100,000 primary oocytes are left. The more than 100,000 primary oocytes that are left are wrapped in primordial follicles. Under the influence of sex hormones, a batch of follicles, about 3 to 11, develop every month from menarche to menopause. After recruitment and selection, only one primordial follicle can mature, thus forming the precious me - "Miss Egg" and being discharged from the ovary. "Miss Egg" is decreasing every day and is a non-renewable resource.

A woman's best chance of conceiving is only 84 times

A woman releases approximately 400 to 500 mature eggs in her lifetime. Only these 400 to 500 precious eggs play the role of creating life. Unfortunately, the rest of the oocytes will die on their own. Although there are 400 to 500 eggs, the best chance of conception is only a few dozen times. Since the best childbearing age for women is before the age of 30, if they get married at the age of 23, there are only 7 years of best childbearing time. There are only 12 ovulations in a year, a total of 84 times in 7 years, so the best chance for women to conceive is actually only 84 times.

Besides having a low chance of optimal conception, my life is very delicate and short. As "Miss Egg", I can generally survive for 12 to 24 hours after being released from the ovaries, and up to 36 to 48 hours. Compared to the 2-3 day lifespan of sperm, my lifespan is too short, and my fertilization ability is strongest within 24 hours after being discharged. In other words, I only have 48 hours to live and 24 hours of puberty. If Mr. Sperm does not show up on time during this period, I will not be able to continue waiting and will lose hope and activity... Therefore, for women who are preparing for pregnancy, grasping the correct ovulation time is the key to good pregnancy and success in one go.

Couples planning to have a baby

It is best to have sex before ovulation

If couples planning to have a baby want to conceive sooner, it is best to have sex before the egg is released so that Mr. Sperm will not miss Miss Egg. Otherwise, if the egg cannot meet the sperm to form a fertilized egg after I am discharged due to various reasons, I will die naturally after 24 hours. Having lost the opportunity for fertilization, Mr. Sperm can only wait until another Miss Egg matures and is released one month later, and then repeat the same process.

Another point to note is that a woman's left and right ovaries usually ovulate in turn, and only in rare cases can two or more eggs be released at the same time. If they meet and combine with sperm respectively, dizygotic twins or polyzygotic twins will be produced. Unfortunately, though, not everyone ovulates normally. According to statistics from reproductive experts, among the causes of female infertility, infertility caused by ovarian factors accounts for about 15% to 25% of infertility, and ovarian anovulation is one of the important reasons.

Finally, there is one more thing I want to tell everyone: women should never be blindly confident about their bodies. Especially those professional women who work hard, they often have an illusion that they are not old. Although the average life expectancy of women is about 80 years old, the age of menopause is still 50 to 52 years old. That is to say, although life expectancy has increased, the childbearing age has not been extended. However, fertility declines rapidly after the age of 35, and becomes worse every year after the age of 40. Therefore, it is best not to miss the best childbearing age before the age of 30.
