This statement, “a female foetus is born with all the eggs she will ever have in her lifetime”, is not unanimously accepted in the scientific community. Though it was widely believed to be true, some recent research gives a possibility of ovaries growing new eggs though the research is not yet 100% definitive about the statement.
