What age do our bodies start making the egg (the egg for the baby)?

Okay so this is super cool, but actually, you're born with all the eggs you'll ever have already in your ovaries. Your body doesn't start making new ones later.

Like, seriously, you were literally born with like a million tiny, unreleased eggs! They just hang out in your ovaries, waiting for puberty. Then, once you hit puberty and your periods start, your body releases one of these eggs approximately every month. That's what ovulation is all about, and it's all part of your menstrual cycle.

So yeah, no new egg-making once you're born, just lots of eggs already there from the very beginning. Wild, right?
