how many eggs does a female release per month
A human female typically has about 400,000 follicles/potential eggs, all formed before birth. Only several hundred (about 480) of these âeggsâ will actually ever be released during her reproductive years. Normally, in humans, after the onset of puberty, due to the stimulation of follicular-stimulating-hormone (FSH) one âeggâ per cycle matures and is released from its ovary. One month the left ovary will release a potential egg and the next month the right ovary will release a potential egg.
