What did you find to be the most fascinating about conception and pregnancy? Is there something that you were surprised to learn about ?

Conception is the event which would lead up to formation of an egg. One of the most fascinating things about conception is how two liquid elements can lead to the formation of a complete human. In order to successfully conceive, there have to be perfect conditions where the sperm must be present in the inside the woman. The egg has to be fertilised within 24 hours.

Even the sperms would be racing so that the best sperm would be meeting with the one ova. In order to meet one egg there are million sperms that get killed on the way. The vaginal environment is harsh and only one lucky spermicide can survive the conditions. Sperms receive the signal form the egg, as it is released and rush to fuse with it. What is fascinating is even birth is harsh and the process of conception requires a lot of competition and formation of the correct combination.

Acrosome, enzyme is used to break through the outer layer of the egg. It is fascinating, how single cells could lead to the entire human being. In order to come out correctly, the fetus has do go through various stages of development and the embryo gets implanted in the uterine lining. At the 10-14 day, wheee implantation has been complete, the woman is referred to as being pregnant.

I was surprised to learn that in order for implantation to happen, it takes almost 14 day’s.
