The Miracle of Human Birth

Did you know that your body houses more potential human life than there are stars in the universe? Yes, that's correct – when a baby girl is born, she already has about 1 to 2 million eggs in her ovaries.

After that, no new eggs form in her lifetime.

On the other hand, a single male ejaculation, averages around 250 million sperm.

In terms of potential combinations, if a woman has 500 ovulatory cycles in her lifetime, and every time a different sperm fertilizes an egg, the number of possible children is staggeringly astronomical.

This means that the potential genetic combinations due to sexual reproduction equates to more than the number of stars in the observable universe, which is estimated to be about 70 sextillions – that's a seven followed by 22 zeros! Such is the profound miracle of human birth..
