It only takes ONE (1) single sperm to fertilize an egg.
Here is more input and advice:
- It takes just 1 sperm to get pregnant. Even the slightest amount of 'pre cum' can carry thousands of sperm.
- A tiny drop can do it!
- A guy's semen carries the sperm. Now think of the sperm as a million TINY pollywogs swimming upstream. It only takes ONE healthy good swimmer to get you pregnant.
Answer
You only need one to make one baby. To be considered 'fertile' (i.e. having a decent chance of actually doing it) you need around 20 million sperm per millilitre of semen, however you could still beget children with less.

How many sperms are needed for fertilization?
Only one.
How many sperm cell are needed for fertilization?
Only one sperm is required to fertilize an egg. One is both necessary and sufficient in order for an egg to be fertilized. But in order to be confident that one will make it, you need a certain minimum sperm count.
Can you become pregnant from saliva?
You can not get pregnancy with saliva. Saliva does not contain sperms. Sperms are must for fertilization to take place.
How many days do the sperms have to get to the egg?
Sperm have about three days to make it to the egg for fertilization before the egg passes out of the uterus and dies.
Why so many sperms are needed for fertilization to occur?
Actually, it only takes one sperm to fertilize the egg, but the problem is the journey to the egg. The male ejaculates so many sperm because most of them die on the way there, the lucky one that gets there cause the fertilization.
What is the adaptive significance of internal fertilization and a watertight egg?
Sperms have tail and they swim. Terrestrial condition does not permit that. So, it is best to have internal fertilization where sperms can creep up the lining of the female reproductive tract, rich in mucus, and find the ovum to fertilize.
Is it possible to see sperms when urinating?
No, it is not possible to see sperms while urinating because sperms are very tiny and a microscope is needed to see them.
Is fertilization sexual?
yes it is possible the sperms and eggs are combined sexualy via two types internaly and externaly
How are gynosperms different from angia sperms?
The difference between gymnosperms and angiosperms is that gymnosperms develop cones as their seed to use in the fertilization process, and angiosperms produce flowers and fruits as their seed to use in the fertilization process.
Is crossing over takes place in sperms before fertilization?
Crossing over occurs during fertilization. This is the mixing of alleles from each of the parents in order to make the offspring.
In what way is an ovum adapted to carry out its special role?
The ovum is bound by many membranes preventing the breakage of it. The ovum contains food which is essential for the developing zygote. It forms a fertilization membrane after fertilization to prevent the entry of the other sperms.
DOES conceiving happen the same time as intercorse?
intercourse is biologically said to be complete with ejaculation of the semen. Semen contains millions of sperms. These sperms migrate to the fallopian tube. It takes few hours for the fertilization to take place actually.
