We've been trying for a while now and not happening, so all sorts of doubts coming in my head. Started wondering about the count side of things too. is it really about quantity? anyone who understands this pls explain simply.
We wondered about this too when we started trying. Our doctor said it just takes one healthy sperm to reach the egg, but overall count helps the chances. If its taking long, a basic test for both partners is a good idea, thats what we did.
Just one is enough to make a baby, but a healthy count improves the chances naturally. There isnt a magic number you need to count. If conceiving is taking time, get both partners checked rather than worrying about quantities.
I know the why isnt it happening worry well. On our journey we learnt it really comes down to one healthy sperm meeting the egg, though counts and timing matter for the chances. A fertility doctor can run tests gently and guide you. Be kind to yourselves.
Technically it only takes one sperm to fertilise the egg, but the count and quality matter for the odds. If you have been trying a while without luck, a simple semen analysis for the husband tells the picture. Dont overthink the exact number.
