Did You Know? Ovaries Can Go Bankrupt

Did you know? When an embryo forms, it already has 7 million eggs—but don’t be too quick to celebrate or assume your ovaries are wealthy!

Even before birth, eggs go through massive natural selection. By the time you’re born, only about 2 million eggs remain to enter the world with you—5 million already lost. And by the time of your first period, only about 400,000 eggs are left available for use. A woman’s fertile golden years are only a short window. The ovary is not a careful spender—eggs are definitely not an endless, inexhaustible treasure!

Although women ovulate only one egg each month, many other eggs are consumed simultaneously—thousands disappear at once, and the speed is astonishing.
This decline is not just from regular ovulation, but also from lifestyle, stress, and the passing of youth, causing ongoing depletion. Once a woman enters menopause, the assets of the reproductive bank go to zero—the ovary is bankrupt. Without eggs, conceiving is harder than climbing the sky. Fortunately, modern reproductive medicine offers solutions—freezing eggs during your golden years is a powerful and sustainable strategy. Eggs are the core of reproduction, yet female fertility declines steadily with age. That’s why it’s so important to understand both egg quality and reserve.

By taking a blood test for AMH, you can evaluate ovarian condition. This test is not affected by pregnancy, menstruation, or other hormones, and can be done anytime to examine your egg reserve. It is a crucial indicator for assessing fertility.

Every woman should understand this and test regularly.
Let your ovaries speak before they go bankrupt—don’t wait until regret is the only thing left to manage your reproductive wealth.
