Five basic conditions for conception

Generally speaking, the following five basic conditions should be met for conception:

1. Mature and normal sperm and eggs;

2. Unobstructed reproductive tract;

3. There is a suitable gestational environment, a normal uterine cavity and normal endometrium, and the changes in the endometrium must be suitable for the implantation of fertilized eggs;

4. Appropriate time for sperm and egg to combine. After a normal person ejaculates, sperm enters the uterine cavity and can survive for about 2 to 3 days, but its fertility can only be maintained for 1 to 2 days. Sperm that does not enter the uterine cavity and remains in the vagina will not survive for more than 1 day. In principle, only one egg is produced per month in one ovary. After being released, it quickly enters the fallopian tube to prepare for fertilization. If it does not meet sperm, it will lose its ability to conceive within 12 to 24 hours!
