I just realized I do not know the size of human eggs, and I would also like to know what they look like.
Please give me some info.

100 micrometers - so 10 of them lined up side by side would be a millimeter which is about 1/25th of an inch so 250 to the inch.

Quote: women give 'birth' to the fetus that men give 'life' to." I do not believe this to be Truth The eggs in the ovaries are most certainly alive, they are just not human beings yet. They are live organisms, otherwise they wouldn't be able to do their job. As such, in the scheme of things, if an egg remains infertile after having been set out in the big wide world, a time soon comes in the monthly cycle of the female when this is discarded as trash. It is not a human life being discarded but an organism that had the potential of being turned into such, but wasn't, and whose time now is used up. Thus the same can be said for all the sperm. Most certainly they are alive when they swim toward their goal. Only if they reach this goal do they become more than sperm. Thus together with the egg, the ovum, the sperm becomes a human being from when the two merge. How the adult male and the female view each other and their offspring is a cultural and personal thing. If they do not appreciate each other that is a fault of their own. Some people are to be avoided.

It states that "Women are born with a finite number of eggs. At birth, a
woman has around 1 to 2 million eggs. However, throughout her life, a
woman loses eggs through a destructive process called atresia. At
puberty, only around 400,000 eggs remain. Throughout the reproductive
life span, from puberty until menopause, women lose about 1,000 eggs each
month. Of these thousand eggs, only one is released. Once released, it is
picked up by the fallopian tube. If a couple has sexual intercourse around
this time, fertilization (the joining of the egg and sperm) may take place."
