Poets Corner: To the Woman Crying Uncontrollably in the Next Stall by Kim Addonizio

To the Woman Crying Uncontrollably in the Next Stall

If you ever woke in your dress at 4am ever closed your legs to a man you loved opened them for one you didn’t moved against a pillow in the dark stood miserably on a beach seaweed clinging to your ankles paid good money for a bad haircut backed away from a mirror that wanted to kill you bled into the back seat for lack of a tampon if you swam across a river under rain sang using a dildo for a microphone stayed up to watch the moon eat the sun entire ripped out the stitches in your heart because why not if you think nothing & no one can / listen I love you

joy is coming.

A woman is born with all the eggs she'll ever have, typically around 1-2 million. By puberty, this number drops to about 300,000–400,000. However, not all of these eggs are viable, and only around 400-500 eggs are ovulated during a woman’s lifetime. As women age, the quality and quantity of their eggs decline, particularly after the age of 35 https://femia.health/health-library/your-cycle/health/how-many-eggs-does-a-woman-have/. This decline can impact fertility, making it harder to conceive. Regular monitoring and awareness of ovarian reserve can help women better understand their fertility.

Hello. Yes, this topic is relevant. Many do not know up to what age a woman has the ability to get pregnant and carry a child.

What is the typical number of eggs a woman has, and how does this change with age? Is this important for assessing fertility, and how does age affect the ability to conceive? Is there an age threshold after which the likelihood of natural conception decreases significantly? Also, what methods are there to preserve fertility, and how do modern medical technologies help women with fertility problems?
