“You have approximately one million eggs at birth, but by the time you reach puberty, you naturally lose hundreds of thousands of them,” explains Cross. Your body will always lose eggs, regardless of your actions. Additionally, women are losing eggs at an accelerated rate.
Over time, the quality of the eggs that are kept in the ovaries likewise deteriorates. According to Cross, “the eggs you are born with are naturally paused in the process of dividing their DNA.” When you ovulate them 20–40 years later, they ripen or finish that process.
The likelihood that the process may go awry and result in eggs with the incorrect number of chromosomes increases with the length of time eggs are trapped in the mid-division stage. This leads to chromosomal anomalies that cause infertility, miscarriages, or the birth of children with genetic disorders.
In summary, a woman’s ability to conceive becomes more challenging as she ages since both the quantity and quality of her eggs diminish over time, with egg loss accelerating around the age of 37.
