All,
So a friend of mine is planning a family and haven’t gotten pregnant yet. Her gynac said they it may happen right away or may take even a year to conceive. Well, i don’t really understand this.
If a fertile man and woman are having frequent sex, what really leads to not getting pregnant?
In: Biology
1. There’s only one egg that comes out per month, and if that one just doesn’t get fertilized, you have to wait.
2. Sperm are so miniscule that when they swim up through the vagina into the uterus, they may just miss the egg. It would be like you swimming in New York Harbor and trying to reach something, even though you don’t know its exact location.
3. Sperm also aren’t great swimmers.
4. A lot of sperm are defective, and some eggs are defective too. Some can’t make it anywhere near the egg, and even if they do, a successful pregnancy can’t result. A lot of pregnancies fail so soon the woman never even knows she was pregnant because she gets her regularly scheduled period.
