Title New IVF research suggests women's eggs 'choose' to attract the sperm of some men but not others - regardless of her own preferences Media name/outlet Mail Online Media type Web Country/Territory United Kingdom Date 10/06/20 Description Women can spend ages finding the perfect man before starting a family. However, when it comes to biology, Mr Right could actually be wrong.
While a woman may want her partner to father her children, a study has found that her eggs might have other ideas. Researchers recruited 60 couples having IVF to see how compatible they were.
Women’s eggs release chemicals that appear to signal to sperm, encouraging them to swim over to make a baby. But for some women, the chemicals worked better for sperm from a man who wasn’t their partner.URL https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-8404511/New-IVF-research-suggests-womens-eggs-choose-attract-sperm-men-not-others.html Persons Daniel Brison Title A woman's eggs choose lucky sperm during last moments of conception, study finds Media name/outlet CNN Media type Web Country/Territory United States Date 10/06/20 Description (CNN)"Swipe right. Swipe left." On an evolutionary level, the finger flick of choice in the human mating game is often influenced by subconscious input from our most primal instincts.
In females, for example, hormones present at ovulation can drive a woman to choose a cocky, confident man with a slight stubble and more masculine features. Men can sniff out an ovulating woman just by smelling her T-shirt, while women appear to prefer the smell of a man with dissimilar genes, which could give her offspring a boost up the evolutionary ladder.URL https://edition.cnn.com/2020/06/09/health/sperm-choice-female-eggs-wellness/index.html Persons Daniel Brison Title Human Eggs Have A Preference For Some People’s Sperm Over Others Media name/outlet IFL Science Media type Web Country/Territory Canada Date 10/06/20 Description Human eggs from biological females may be picky in the sperm they allow in for fertilization. According to new research, different chemical signals are more apt to attract sperm from some biological males than others, allowing the eggs to essentially “choose” their sperm – and it’s not always that of their partners.
