Brief Explanations

Oogenesis begins during fetal development. Primary oocytes are arrested in prophase I of meiosis. They remain in this state until puberty. After puberty, one primary oocyte per menstrual cycle resumes meiosis. The process of oogenesis can start during fetal life (around 3 - 5 months of gestation) and the last oocyte may complete meiosis at menopause (around 50 years of age).

50 years
