> In general, men produce upward of 60 million sperm per milliliter of semen. ...But below that threshold and particularly under about 20 million per ml, their ability to help conceive drops. It may take a couple longer than a year to conceive...

I can't even intuitively understand how going from 60 million to 20 million would make any difference at all. There are millions there, you know.

I can understand how dropping by 99% might affect things, but how on earth could a drop of 2/3 result in taking a year???

Does anyone know of an explanation?
