Fertility/Infertility
The process of fertility is analogous to planting seeds into the soil. The seeds must be of certain quality and the soil should meet certain conditions, such as the availability of water, nutrition, temperature etc… If any of these necessary components fail to be present, then the seeds will not germinate and sprout, or if it does, it will not grow to its maximum potential.
Human sperm can be viewed as the seeds, and the woman’s body can be viewed as the soil. If either the sperm or the female body does not meet the required conditions suitable for the embryo, then the sperm will not fertilize the egg and thus infertility will occur.
