SEX AND INFERTILITY: PREGNANCY
For conception to happen naturally, an egg (ovum) has to be released from the woman’s ovary. It then travels into the Fallopian tube where it meets up with the man’s sperm, which is deposited into the vagina during intercourse. Fertilization takes place if one of the two to three hundred million sperm released is able to penetrate the egg, and the cells multiply to form an embryo. Once the embryo reaches the uterus, it takes another few days to implant itself into the lining of the uterus. So to achieve a pregnancy it takes a sexually functioning man with a good sperm count, and a woman with the right hormonal balance, functioning ovaries, open tubes and a healthy uterus. On top of all that, intercourse needs to take place during the fertile time of the month. This last point might seem to be stating the obvious but more than once couples have sought help for apparent infertility when they just don’t have intercourse often enough or at the right time of the month to get pregnant.
