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 human female typically has about 400,000 follicles/potential eggs, all formed before birth. Only several hundred (about 480) of these âeggsâ will actually ever be released during her reproductive years. Normally, in humans, after the onset of puberty, due to the stimulation of follicular-stimulating-hormone (FSH) one âeggâ per cycle matures and is released from its ovary. One month the left ovary will release a potential egg and the next month the right ovary will release a potential egg.
