Egg Fertilization Stages
Getting It Right
Pregnancy is a complicated process that depends upon many factors and there is no need to write further like…
The production of healthy sperm by the man and healthy eggs by the woman.
You need to have regular sexual intercourse during your fertile time.
Normal Female reproductive system.
Unblocked Fallopian tubes that allow the sperm to reach the egg.
You need to ovulate.
A genetically healthy embryo.
The ability of the embryo to implant in the uterus.
Implantation
After fertilisation, the egg now known as an embryo, develops in the fallopian tube for the first three days, then travels down into the uterus. By the fifth day it become a blastocyst. Once the blastocyst breaks free from its shell, or hatches, it is ready to adhere to the surface of the endometrium.
It begins to secrete human chorionic gonadotrophin (hCG), a hormone that tells the corpus luteum to continue progesterone production. A home pregnancy test will detect hCG by Day 28 of a menstrual cycle.
