Conception The Amazing Journey from Egg to Embryo
Conception From Egg to Embryo- This slideshow
will illustrate the incredible process of
conception, beginning with the moment a sperm
fertilizes an egg. Ovulation- Each month, one
of a woman's two ovaries releases a mature egg in
a process known as ovulation. Ovulation occurs
about two weeks after the start of a womans last
menstrual period. Moving Into the Fallopian
Tube- The released egg travels into the
Fallopian tube, where it is fertilized by a
single sperm.

The Sperm's Long Journey - When a man
ejaculates, 40 to 150 million sperm may be
contained in the fluid. The sperm start swimming
upstream in the women's reproductive tract toward
the Fallopian tubes. The time it takes for sperm
to reach an egg is very variable - some may reach
their target in half an hour, while others may
take days. Sperm can live for up to 48 to 72
hours. Of the millions of sperm, only a few
hundred even come close to the egg.

Fertilization Sperm Penetrates Egg-
The process of fertilization takes about 24
hours. Once a sperm has penetrated the egg, the
egg surface changes, preventing entry of other
sperm. Fertilization completes the genetic makeup
of the baby, including whether it will be a girl
or boy.
5
The Cells Start to Divide- Once the egg is
fertilized, a rapid process of division begins.
The fertilized egg leaves the Fallopian tube and
enters the uterus 3 to 4 days after
fertilization. A tubal or ectopic pregnancy
results in the rare cases in which the fertilized
egg does not properly enter the uterus. An
ectopic pregnancy poses serious health risks to
the mother.
6
Implantation- Implantation is the process by
which the fertilized egg attaches to the
endometrium (lining tissues of the uterus). The
cells in the fertilized egg continue to divide.
Pregnancy Hormones- A hormone called human
chorionic gonadotrophin (HCG) is produced by the
cells that will eventually form the placenta. It
can be found in the mother's blood within about a
week of conception and is detected in pregnancy
tests done on blood or urine. Fetal
Development- After implantation in the uterus,
some of the cells form the placenta while others
form the embryo. The heartbeat begins during the
fifth week of gestation. At the eighth week the
developing embryo is now called a fetus. The
fetus at eight weeks is about ½ inch long and
constantly growing.
