1 is enough. (An Optimistic View)
1 is enough.
For each 1 baby conceived, we only need 1 sperm and 1 egg.
Just 1 is enough.
No need to worry too much about the sperm count; we just need 1 sperm for fertilization whether at home, via ICSI, or in the fertility lab.
No need to worry about how many eggs are there in the ovarian reserve in a woman. A successful stimulation will make more than 1 egg. We just need 1 egg for fertilization at home, via ICSI, or in the fertility lab.
No need to make any rash decisions.
When egg-freezing, IVF and/or “getting lucky at home” come into the picture, the laws of probability and age can take a back seat.
The percentages and probability of success are generalizations anyway. After all, each one of us is unique and we will make it work!
Do not worry!
1 is enough.
It can happen and it has happened in the past.
