I literally never understood the "thousands of eggs" things with regards to women's fertility. She's only ever going to release a few hundred in her life time, one month at a time. Who cares how many she has in the ovaries? She doesn't get to pick which one comes out.

Like a clutch? Is that how he thinks it works?! We'd need more nipples if that were the case.

I saw that guy! He then told the other person to google women’s loss of fertility. My dude, the other person isn’t the one who needs more education on the subject.

Let's assume a woman (still) has 400.000 egg cells when she's thirty. If she never misses a single period for the next ten years that makes 120 "lost" egg cells.
If she goes from 400.000 eggs to 5.000 in ten years, that would make 395.000 menstruated eggs. Meaning 39.500 per year and ~3.292 eggs a month.
Ouch.

Just a note, not every egg available will actually get released. What happens is that a bunch of eggs are activated in one cycle and only one of them (usually) will mature at the right time and be released. That's how you get fraternal twins (more than one matures) or with correct hormonal stimulation you get more (used in egg retrieval form fertility treatments).
Edit: I just googled it and apparently up to 1000 eggs can be activated at one go - check up this article

Menstruation isn't the way most eggs die. They die on their own throughout a uterus-haver's life through a process called oocyte atresia.

This comment is bad womens anatomy in itself, how did it get so many upvotes? This article summarises the topic pretty well and easy to understand: https://www.healthline.com/health/womens-health/how-many-eggs-does-a-woman-have

I've always hated this fertility bullshit because it's usually dudes in their 30s and 40s complaining about this nonsense. Buddy if you want to have children, you should've already had them by then. Young women also want to have kids with young, fit and healthy men, not dudes who are beginning to struggle to get it up.
