are women able to produce sperm?

You should have learned this in high school.  Only men produce sperm.  Women produce the egg, which gets fertilized by the sperm.

I just found out that Canadian scientists have found that a few women ovulate twice a month and others have the biological potential to do so. Hope this helps.

of course it's possible. having regular periods doesn't necessarily mean that you are excluded of not being sterile(not capable of having a child)

is there more sperm produced by a male then eggs released by a female during a single month...yes. the reason is because the pollen grains have to leave the anther to make it to the ova and there's a strength in numbers going for the pollen grains.

Female......she has brains and can get through childbirth.  Sooner or later she is gonna figure out how to procreate without needing a man.

Women are, men are not.\n\nIn men, the cells that go through meiosis eventually go through special phases to duplicate over and over and over and over and over.  4 gametes (sperm) are created each time for each male cell undergoing meiosis.\n\nFor gametes in women, the process of meiosis leaves one feasable gamete and 3 polar bodies that are discarded.  There cannot be 2 gametes because the cytoplasm must be given to the feasable gamete, along with all the other "good stuff", as the female gamete (egg) must be capable of starting life.\nWomen are born with about 10,000 cells that are capable of going through meiosis, and that is all there will ever be within a woman's body for their whole lifespan.\n\nIf the either sex was born with the gametes "ready to go" most of them would age and die before they were ever used- resulting in the end of the species, as, for humans, sexual reproduction is begun relatively "late" in life.  So, any "ready to go" cells would die before they were used, being useless to the continuation of the species.\n\nCells usually die every 4 months approximately.  Really really.  Except for nerve cells.  But if those die, they're gone.

Dude, semen is the liquid that carries sperm.  Women do not have sperm.  If you don't know this much, stay away from sexual activity for a few more years.\n\nGood luck!!

oh yeah she can get pregnant

It could.  Anytime semen comes in contact with the woman's genitals, there is a chance of pregnancy.  However, the chance is probably quite low if the semen didn't actually get into the vagina (they do swim, though...).  There was probably also some residual spermicide that may have helped.  Be prepared to test, but most likely you'll be fine.

possible, but more unlikely.   Go see a fertility doctor.

Provides nutrients for the sperm. \n\nCounteracts the acidity inside the female. \n\nFight any sperm from other men. \n\nMay increase the likelihood of ovulation. \n\nMay increase the production of oxytocin in the woman (oxytocin makes women feel in love.)

Women can lactate without being pregnant I know one in particular . I beleive there is a study were the woman can want to be pregnant to the point where her body acually produce milk but not be pregnant  do a search to see what you find on the netif not helped here also trip to your doc would be best

Yes- it is very possible to get pregnant this way, especially if she is near her time of ovulation.  Any contact of sperm or pre-ejaculate on or near the vaginal opening can result in pregnancy.

Yes, pregnancy can happen. Sperm can live, mmmm, I forget, but I want to say 24-48 hr.\n\nI stand corrected, can't live out in the air, I guess, but I do know they sure can swim!

We can clone people without sperm but it's impossible to clone people without a human egg. We don't need men to live but we do need women.

Almost all males are infertile, but fertility in females is possible. About half of females are fertile. \n\nSo yes, it's possible, but it's not exactly common. More are infertile than fertile.\n\nIt's not really clear why most males are sterile, but I would suggest that the trisomy 21 condition (people with Down's syndrome have an extra 21st chromosome - in most cases, anyway) somehow interferes with the inactivation of the X chromosome in males, which leads to infertility.

Yes. You are born with all the eggs you can possibly need during your fertile years. They are  held in a sort of 'suspended animation' in the ovaries, until one is released each month. Then, the one either meets up with a lucky sperm and implants itself or is released during your cycle each month.\n\nI had to explain this to a college roomie who thought women "made a new egg each month"..
