Men release hundreds of millions of sperm during each sexual intercourse, but only a small portion of the sperm will overcome all obstacles and enter the fallopian tubes, waiting to combine with the egg. Women of childbearing age only release one mature egg per month. Sperm and egg combine to form a fertilized egg, which absorbs nutrients and oxygen from the fluid secreted by the fallopian tubes and develops into an embryo after implantation in the endometrium. So, how long does it take for the fertilized egg to implant? How can I know if the fertilized egg has implanted?
After absorbing nutrients, the fertilized egg continuously undergoes cell division and gradually moves towards the uterine cavity. 3-4 days later, when it reaches the uterine cavity, it has developed into a solid body with multiple cells, shaped like a mulberry, hence it is called a morula. The morula continues to undergo cell division in the uterine cavity to form blastocysts, which implant approximately 6-8 days after fertilization. However, during this period, most women do not have particularly noticeable reactions, and a few women may show signs of bleeding. If a female friend has the following symptoms, it may indicate that the fertilized egg has implanted.
1. Easy to regurgitate
After pregnancy, most women may experience nausea or vomiting in the first few weeks of pregnancy, which is also a sign of successful implantation of the fertilized egg.
2. Easy to get tired
After pregnancy, almost all women often feel tired because their bodies secrete a large amount of a hormone called progesterone. This hormone can always make you feel exhausted, so pregnant women should pay more attention to rest during pregnancy.
3. Breast becomes soft
If you notice that your breasts feel stinging, swollen, and soft, this symptom may occur in the first few days after conception. However, don't worry, as long as your body adapts to a large amount of hormones, this pain will automatically subside.
4. Nipple color change
When you are taking a shower or examining your breasts and find that the color of your areola is darker than usual or there are pink and blue lines on your breasts, you may want to go to the pharmacy to buy a pregnancy test stick or go to the hospital for examination, as these are all symptoms of pregnancy.
5. Urinary frequency
After the fertilized egg implants in the uterine wall, it secretes a hormone called chorionic gonadotropin, which stimulates you to frequently use the bathroom. Therefore, if you do not urinate frequently, female friends who have sexual intercourse have a possibility of getting pregnant.
6. Symptoms of bleeding or spasms
Generally speaking, on the eighth day after implantation, there may be slight pink or brown stains, accompanied by spasms. If it happens to be during the menstrual period, there may be some bleeding symptoms, but female friends should be aware that this is not the true menstrual period, it is the result of the fertilized egg implanting in the endometrium.
