African-Americans or those with a family history of colon cancer should schedule their first colonoscopy at age 45. If your initial colonoscopy is clear and there are no polyps detected, you should schedule your next colonoscopy in 10 years.
âRemember, women are born with all the eggs they are ever going to have, and they donât make any new eggs during their lifetime. Women are born with approximately two million eggs in their ovaries, but about eleven thousand of them die every month prior to puberty.
When girls are born, they have about two million eggs in their ovaries, nestled in fluid-filled cavities called follicles. That may sound like a lot, but consider that months earlier, when they were still in utero, they may have had as many as six or seven million eggs.or all the eggs a woman begins with, in the end only about 400 will go through ovulation. While men produce sperm throughout their lives, over time the number of eggs declines, and they disappear with increasing frequency the decade or so before menopause.
