Fecundity
Fecundity is the ability of an organism to produce offspring. It is a characteristic of organisms that influences their reproductive success and is an important factor in species survival. Fecundity is affected by both genetic and environmental factors and can be used to measure the relative reproductive success of a species. Fecundity can be used to evaluate the health of a population and is a useful tool in conservation and management of endangered species. Knowing the fecundity of a species also helps us to understand its behavior and ecology.

Women have hormonal cycles which determine when they can achieve pregnancy. The cycle is approximately twenty-eight days long, with a fertile period of five days per cycle, but can deviate greatly from this norm. Men are fertile continuously, but their sperm quality is affected by their health, frequency of ejaculation, and environmental factors.
