Saw some video about X and Y sperm and got confused matlab is there even a thing called female sperm? Sorry if this sounds dumb. Just trying to understand the whole gender thing properly.
I am not a doctor so I won't go into medical terms, but from what my own gynecologist explained during my checkups, conception always needs a male partner's sperm. That's how my husband and I conceived our little one.
When I first saw those two pink lines, I felt so overwhelmed by how miraculous human biology is. Conception is only possible through male sperm fertilizing our egg. It's a beautiful process of two people coming together.
Hehe, this question reminded me of when my MIL was talking about old beliefs on how baby's gender is decided. But medically, sperm only comes from the father, and whether it has X or Y chromosome determines the gender. Simple science!
Biologically speaking, there's no such thing as 'female sperm'. Sperm is produced by males, though it can carry either an X (female) or Y (male) chromosome which determines the baby's gender. My tracking apps had great articles explaining this basic genetics!
Pregnancy can only happen when a male sperm fertilizes a female egg. While breastfeeding my baby, I read a lot about how conception actually works. It always requires both male and female reproductive cells.
No, women cannot produce sperm, so female sperm is not a thing. Conception always requires a male sperm to fertilize your egg. Hope this helps clear up your doubt.
Haha, biology class throwback! Sperm only comes from males, but 'female sperm' usually refers to sperm carrying the X chromosome. If that one wins the race, you get a baby girl! Otherwise, women don't produce sperm.
