We've been trying for a few months and nothing yet, my husband's report came and now im overthinking the numbers. honestly i dont understand all this counting. how much is actually needed for it to work?
We just started trying and i had the same doubt but felt shy to ask anyone. So good to read it only needs one and the rest is timing. Helps me relax a little, thank you for asking this.
It only takes one to do the job, but a normal count is in the millions per ml because most dont make it. If conception isn't happening after several months of trying, a basic semen test for the partner is worth doing. Nothing to stress about, it's a routine check.
Technically it takes just one sperm to fertilise the egg, but the body releases millions because so few actually reach the egg. So it's not about a fixed amount you can measure. If you're trying and worried, a simple semen analysis tells the real picture.
I was curious about this too when we started trying. From what i read only one sperm fertilises but you need a healthy count for the odds. We just focused on timing the fertile days and staying relaxed.
