Very good: Certainly possible. If you don't want to become pregnant you need to avoid unprotected sex, but you've probably figured that out by now.

It only takes 1: It's really not about the quantity-it is about the number of sperm cells in the ejaculation- don't worry. You can still get pregnant during your fertile time.

Multi day approach: A better option would be to use a soft syringe, inserted into the vagina which allows the sperm to be deposited close to the cervix. do this and recline for 20 minutes afterwards on day 25, 27, 29 to ensure the best coverage.
