CAN ANYONE ANSWER THIS??

I have always wondered- why is it that women have 1 million immature eggs in their ovaries when they will only use about 400 of them??

Could it be that there is some complex process of selection? Could there be an elimination of ova the way there is of sperm when it travels through the woman's reproductive system? Do our bodies discard the unsatisfactory eggs and release only the best ones during ovulation?

I have always been curious and am puzzled by this question!!
