The ovarian reserve throughout a woman's life, from conception to age 55 years. Only around 1000 follicles remain at menopause. Adapted from Wallace WH and Kelsey TW. PLOS ONE 27, e8772, 2010; published under an open-access license by PLoS. Donnez J and Dolmans MM propose ovarian tissue reimplantation when women reach the menopause. Ideally, their tissue should have been removed and frozen at the age of 20–25 years. Adapted from Wallace and Keysey, PLOS ONE, 2010.

Ovarian tissue freezing followed by reimplantation upon reaching menopause. Ovarian tissue may be grafted to a heterotopic site in the form of ovarian tissue strips, or inside an artificial ovary containing isolated primordial follicles (Based on Donnez and Dolmans, New England Journal of Medicine, 2017). Adapted from Donnez and Dolmans, New England Journal of Medicine, 2017.
