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.
A womanâs age is one of the most important predictors of fertility. Women have approximately 350,000 eggs at the time of puberty, (approximately age 13). Each month, during a womanâs menstrual cycle, dozens of these eggs will begin to develop, but only one will mature and actually ovulate.
