What happens to egg and ovaries during pregnancy?
Okay, this might be a weird question and I might not even know how to word it right. But what are the ovaries and eggs doing during pregnancy?
It takes about 90 days for an egg to develop and be ready to be ovulated and fertilized. But do they still develop in the "background" during pregnancy? Do you lose eggs each month even when pregnant? Or are they in some kind of stasis? But a lot of people get pregnant really quick after a miscarriage so that means there are eggs somewhat developed that will mature in time for next cycle? But why would egg development continue through pregnancy?
Is there any theories on how pregnancy could affect egg quality? Some people believe you are more fertile right after a miscarriage, could that be due to pregnancy having a protective effect on egg quality? Or is it not the eggs, maybe it's just the body already being in "pregnancy mode" or just the fact that obviously your lifestyle recently has already been good enough for pregnancy so it's easy to think that you still have about the same lifestyle and fertility.
I've had a missed abortion and while waiting on the bleeding and pondering about what month I should do next IVF treatment I started wondering how last months pregnancy might have affected my eggs. I should probably wait 3 months in order to eat full 90 days of ubiquinol before IVF. Or should I?
