Dearest Gynecological Experts of Fertility Knowledge Luff & Joy.

Despite having four little bra....children myself.....it is in fact not so easy to for a girlie to get preggy ?

This is why is takes just one out of a zillion little tads to get there and sort it out !

So, why is that then ?..why make the nature of procreation in fact quite difficult if the premise of a species is to multiply ?

I expect there has to be a measure of control else they'd be a population explosion !..so...has nature decided that rather than control the urge to procreate....that it'll just be difficult hence the numbers of little tads ?

This question is not particular to just humans..

Me wants to know cos me wants to know....whajafink ?

Hi seany,

The question i am asking is why is it in fact difficult to fall pregnant when the premise for a species is to multiply ?

....and secondly..why has nature decided to deal with the difficulty by giving us blokes millions of sperm..?...why not give us ten but make them real good swimmers ?...

That's what me wants to know... [

Lmao, to your second question.. I think that may be because, within the 10 swimmers, all may reach the egg, resulting in a decaprillet oh whatever..

Also, giving us millions of sperm, means that only the strongest and fittest out of those million, will eventually reach the egg. This means that the foetus, which is soon to develop, will be more strong at birth and throughout their life. Which is why we are all living strong and fit!

To your first question. I think it may be because, us humans are alot different compared to other animals and mammals. We have a different aim in life than to multiply like viruses, bacteria, butterflies and etc. Thus, I think it is harder to reproduce.

I'm not sure about these btw.

Btw Neil, why do you always look offline, and in the online users, you are "hidden"?

HUMMMM another good question..Perhaps there is more over a reasonwhy there are so many spern and norma;;y 1 egg, multiple births being the exception.. perhaps to insure multiple eggs also have a chance at conception! Maybe more ssssperm are better swimmers in groups, perhaps they are competitive little fellows, or perhaps the amount of sperm somehow relates to the mans strong sex drive or something equally as silly! LOL Maybe it depends on the amount of stemuli the male feels as to how much sperm he produces... Is the amount the same with each ejaculation ? Does it vary with different stimuli, woman verses sample in a cup? You know what I mean.. are there the same number of sperm per event regaurdless of the motivation so to speak? Sorry for all the questions but would that actually change the outcome on the sperm count and if so why?

if i remember correctly! most women who are having sex will get pregnant each month, but there are slight abnormalities and the eggs are aborted.

I do believe you are correct as I have heard that similar thing.. although I don't recall the details! LOL Are you two safely home?

I will just lurk around this question. I have no more to offer. [

I find it odd that no one has touched on external factors that may reduce ferility. What about poor diet, lack of exercise, pollution, drugs, etc...

This has been mentioned once before as there have been some rather disconcerting news items of late that the sperm count is indeed reducing !!

Why a hundred million sperm ?
