Our eventual choices produce up to 12 million spermatozoa per hour, and if you count how much semen is formed in male germ gland during their lifetime, you will get the cosmic digit - a few trillions! If every man's semen could evolve into the embryo, there would be no place to live on our tiny planet. It's frightening to imagine the number of women that our hypothetically faithful beloved could fertilize. Completely different story is with the female physiology – there are just 400 eggs for the whole life. So our gametes are the greatest value of nature."

Working together, experts from
An idea that young women who, for one reason or another want to postpone having children, need to freeze their eggs, so that by the time they are ready for kids, they are able to use their own "young" biological material, is now gaining increasing popularity. However, until now experts could not predict the chances that the egg is successfully thawed and maintains its viability.
