In respect to this, what are the symptoms when sperm meets egg?

Other signs to determine your fertile window include: It will be thick, sticky and white or opaque in colour and your vagina will feel quite dry. As sperm require mucus to help meet the egg, there is little chance of getting pregnant at this stage.

Furthermore, how big is sperm compared to an egg? From head to tail, human sperm cells measure about 50 micrometers (0.05 millimeter, or roughly 0.002 inch). The tiniest object you can see with your unaided eyes is about 0.1 mm—so forget about seeing sperm without a microscope. A human egg is about 30 times bigger—large enough to be seen with the naked eye.

Herein, is the egg the baby or the sperm?

Once a month, the female releases an ovum (one egg) or sometimes two (ova) . If an ovum has been released, and the couple have sex, a sperm can unite with it, fertilise it and make the first cell of a new baby. Once one sperm has fertilised the ovum, no other sperm can get in.
