When you and your partner are trying to have a baby
you should be aware of the importance of the timing of sexual intercourse.
The ovum can only be fertilized for about 18- 24 hours after it is released,
so sperm must be present in the fallopian tubes around the time of ovulation.
Sperm can usually survive for around 3 - 5 days in the woman's reproductive
tract. Fertilization is therefore unlikely unless sexual intercourse
occurs up to and during ovulation.
During intercourse, millions of sperm are released
into the vagina. As ovulation approaches, the cervical mucus becomes watery allowing the sperm to swim up the vagina through the cervix.
Only about 2,000 sperm will be strong enough to reach the uterus and the fallopian tube. In order for fertilization to occur, one of
these sperm must attach itself to the ovum and penetrate its outer surface.
The fertilized ovum will then continue travelling down the fallopian
tube, taking several days until it reaches the uterus. When it arrives,
it attaches itself to the lining of the uterus and continues to grow.
If the ovum is not fertilized it will die and the progesterone and oestrogen hormone levels will drop. Without these hormones the prepared uterus lining breaks up and is released through the vagina.
This is known as a ‘period’.
If the egg is fertilized the implanted embryo produces another hormone Human
Chorionic Gonadotrophin (H.C.G.) which tells the ovary to continue to produce progesterone. H.C.G.
is the hormone that pregnancy
tests are designed to detect. Progesterone continues to be secreted during pregnancy, first by the corpus luteum and then by the placenta, until the child is born. Progesterone blocks the release of the hormones, which are responsible for ovulation so that further eggs are not released during pregnancy.
Male sperm production
The male must produce a sufficient number of normal,
actively moving sperm in order to achieve conception.It would be a good idea for your partner to
abstain from ejaculating for a few days before your fertile period,
to allow sperm numbers to rise. You should only need to have intercourse
once each day during your fertile period. The more a man ejaculates
the fewer sperm there will be.
The male’s reproductive tract must have open
pathways for the sperm to travel from the testes,
where the sperm is produced, out through the penis during ejaculation.
The male must be able to ejaculate into the woman’s vagina.
Sperm are produced in the testes and mature in the epididymis.
The epididymis is a long oval shaped structure attached to the surface
of each testis.
The same hormones that control women’s ovulation
also control the production of sperm. They originate from the pituitary gland in the brain. Two of the hormones of the pituitary
gland are follicle stimulating hormone (F.S.H.) and luteinising hormone
(L.H.).
F.S.H. and L.H. stimulate the production of sperm
and testosterone in the testes. The testes typically produce 50,000 new sperm every minute
of every day beginning at puberty until the man is 70 years old or older.
If you have only one testis, your sexual performance or
ability to have children will not be affected as long as the other testis
is healthy. The healthy testis will make up for the removed one by producing
more testosterone and sperm.
