We are trying to conceive and i keep getting confused reading random stuff online. Just genuinely curious about how this works. Anyone who understands it better, pls explain simply.
I had the same shy doubt when we were trying. Doctor told me even a small amount can do it if its the fertile window, just one healthy sperm reaching the egg is enough. So timing matters most.
I researched this exact thing while planning. The amount isnt the deciding factor, its more about healthy sperm and the right fertile days. Tracking ovulation helped us more than anything.
Honestly it just takes one sperm to fertilise the egg, the quantity isnt the main thing. Whats more important is timing around ovulation. Dont overthink the amount.
Technically a single sperm fertilises one egg, so it isnt about a big amount. What helps is conceiving near ovulation days. If you are trying for a while, a fertility check for both helps more than counting.
