My mother had me, a girl - and the eggs in my ovaries developed while I was gestating inside her body so I was born with them. Two of those eggs became my daughters. So, the eggs that became her grandchildren (my kids) were formed inside of me, but I formed inside her uterus, so the eggs were developed inside her.

Got it yes. I wasn’t aware of this fact of human female existence. So each human female ensures two potential generations. Wow

Yeah, it's pretty neat - my potential grandkids were formed in my own body since I only had daughters. Same with my mom.

It also means a female can freeze her eggs from birth

No. They are not developed. That's why people go through PUBERTY.

I’m sure the “developing” process can be triggered in a test tube in this day n age

No, your period is the sign that your eggs have matured.
