It's actually A LOT more than some people are saying.
Evidence suggests that eggs are formed from germ cells early in fetal life. The number is reduced to an estimated 400,000 to 450,000 immature eggs residing in each ovary at puberty. The menstrual cycle, as a biologic event, allows for ovulation of one egg typically each month. Thus over her lifetime a woman will ovulate approximately 400 to 450 times. All the other eggs dissolve by a process called atresia. As a woman's total egg supply is formed in fetal life, to be ovulated decades later, it has been suggested that this long lifetime may make the chromatin of eggs more vulnerable to division problems, breakage, and mutation than the chromatin of sperm, which are produced continuously during a man's reproductive life. This possibility is supported by the observation that fetuses and infants of older mothers have higher rates of chromosome abnormalities than those of older fathers.

A woman do not produce eggs but are born with a specific number of them. This is usually around 400,000. However, not all of the eggs are ovulated. Only about 400~500 eggs are released in a woman's lifetime.

It is true that females are born with their eggs. Since only one egg is normally released each month, one ovary does the same job as two. Therefore, your egg production will not be cut in half and you will not start menopause at an earlier age. Women generally stop producing viable eggs in their late 30's. While not impossible to become pregnant in your 40's especially with today's medical advances, it is more difficult.

Unlike a man, who produces sperm throughout his lifetime, a woman is born with a finite number of eggs - roughly 500,000. By her late 30's or early 40's, a woman's remaining eggs may have experienced severe wear & tear over the years. This of course effects a woman's fertility as she gets older.

A woman doesn't PRODUCE eggs, she is born with around a million, and as she ages, she loses one (or maybe a couple) every month due to ovulation and thousands of others just die until the point of menopause. If I recall correctly, by the time a woman (or girl) begins to ovulate, there are only 250,000 to 500,000 left from that original million for her to work with as the others had already died off.

I'm not sure but it think is varies quite a lot from one woman to another. Of course, there are some women who won't produce any and then there are others who are popping out kids until old age so there's probably not really an actual average. Well, there would be but I mean, not a determinable average.

Experts in numerology use the numbers to determine the best time for major moves and activities in life. Numerology is used to decide when to invest, when to marry, when to travel, when to change jobs, or relocate. Numerology is an occult science and for me it's fascinating. It is perhaps the easiest of the occult arts to understand and use. All you need is the birth date and the complete name of an individual to unlock all of the secrets that the numbers hold.
