To achieve pregnancy, only one sperm is needed to fertilize an egg. However, millions of sperm are typically present in each ejaculation, as the journey to the egg is challenging, and many sperm do not survive. Healthy sperm count is an important factor in fertility, as a higher count increases the chances of one sperm successfully reaching and fertilizing the egg. Understanding these factors can help in planning or preventing pregnancies effectively.
