True. This is how identical twins are made. Fraternal twins are made when two eggs are released during ovulation.

True. Eggs take a full 90 days to mature, and that’s why it’s so important to focus on egg quality, like by taking a prenatal and Fertility Support leading up to TTC.

False. A released egg survives only 12-24 hours. It’s ideal to have sex prior to ovulation since sperm can survive for up to 5 days inside your body.

True. An egg cell is one of the few cells in the body that can be seen with the naked eye. It is about the width of a strand of hair.

True. You can test for egg quantity, but not quality, which is arguably more important. The only test that exists for egg quality is trying to fertilize it!
