A woman is born with so many ova, or eggs, at the time of her birth. She does not produce any more eggs through her lifetime but instead, looses one or more each month through menstruation A woman cannot use them after menopause.

The supply of sperm is endless. A man produces more sperm as necessary and can produce them until he dies.
