Implantation Pregnant

In order for implantation to take place, conception and fertilization must do their part first. Implantation happens early in the pregnancy stage when an embryo adheres to the lining or wall of the uterus. By this, the fetus receives the oxygen and nutrients from the mother to be able to grow.

The Process

A fertilized egg is also known as a blastocyst and it begins producing hCG immediately. hCG is the hormone that pregnancy tests test for to determine pregnancy. In most women it takes 7-14 days for the egg to travel to the uterus from the fallopian tube, so tests can be done multiple times to determine if you’re pregnant. As it travels to the uterus, its multiplying and reproducing cells like crazy, growth begins right away.
Trophoblast is a tissue that develops from the fertilized egg and surrounds it completely. This tissue is actually what attaches the egg to the lining of the uterus. Trophoblast tissue pulls the egg into the inner endometrium and diverts the mother’s bloodstream to the fertilized egg. In this moment, implantation bleeding can occur which results in mild spotting and bleeding, but its minor and temporary.
