      PROCESS OF CONCEPTION OR GETTING PREGNANT

      Now let’s know step by step biological process of conception or getting pregnant

      Conception is the process by which a new human life begins, and it involves several sequential steps. Here is the sequence of conception:

      • Ovulation (Day-1): The process begins with ovulation, which is the release of a mature egg (ovum) from one of the ovaries. Ovulation typically occurs around the middle of the menstrual cycle i.e., 14th day of onset your period, provided your menstrual cycle happen regularly every month. Under normal circumstances this mature egg is picked up by fallopian tube.

      • Fertilization (Day 1-6 after ovulation): If sperms are present in the female reproductive tract at the time of ovulation, one sperm cell ascents and penetrate and fuses with the egg. This event is known as fertilization. It typically occurs in the fallopian tube.

      • Formation of zygote (Day 2-3 after fertilization): When a sperm successfully fertilizes the egg, it forms a single-cell structure known as zygote. This zygote now contains the unique combination of genetic material from both the mother and the father.

      • Formation of blastocyst (Day 6-7 after fertilization): The zygote undergoes rapid cell division, becoming a multicellular structure known as a blastocyst. During this process, the blastocyst continues to travel down the fallopian tube toward the uterus.

      • Implantation (Day 7-10 after fertilization): The blastocyst eventually reaches the uterus and must implant itself into the uterine lining (endometrium) for further development. Successful implantation involves the attachment of the blastocyst to the uterine wall.

      • Development of the Embryo (2-3 weeks after fertilization): After implantation, the blastocyst begins to differentiate and develop into an embryo. The embryo goes through various stages of development, eventually forming the three germ layers that give rise to different tissues and organs.

      • Development of the fetus (4-12 weeks after fertilization): Following implantation these cells grow and differentiate into placenta and fetus. The placenta is an essential organ that allows the exchange of nutrients, oxygen, and waste products between the mother and the developing fetus. It provides support and nourishment to the growing embryo/fetus.

      • Further development: Over the course of approximately nine months, the developing embryo/fetus undergoes extensive growth and development, with the various organ systems forming and functioning.

      • Birth: The final event of the conception happens as birth of a baby. The baby is typically delivered through the mother's birth canal (vaginal birth) or through abdomen by a surgical procedure i.e., cesarean section (C-section).

      It's important to note that not every fertilized egg successfully results in a pregnancy or live birth. Many factors can affect the progression and outcome of conception, and there may be instances of early pregnancy loss (miscarriage) or unsuccessful implantation.

      Some facts about conception

      • For fertilization to occur, sperm should enter the vagina <48 hours prior to ovulation.

      • On an average, in one ejaculation men release 2-5 mL of semen. 1mL of semen contains 60-100 million of sperm which means in one ejaculation 200-500 million of sperm is being ejaculated. Of which thousand sperm reach enter into fallopian tube for fertilization of which only one sperm fertilizes the mature ova.

      • Window period for fertilization (fertile period)- 48 hours before ovulation to 24 hours after ovulation.

      • The lifespan of a female egg is 24 hours whereas sperm’s lifespan is 72 hours.

      • If you want to get pregnant or you are facing difficulty in getting pregnant then you should plan your intercourse during your fertile period.

      Pregnancy symptoms- Symptoms of pregnancy is seen as early as 7-8 days of fertilization. We will discuss in detail about it in later chapters.

      PREPARATION FOR PREGNANCY

      (Tips to get pregnant easily)

      Always it is better to plan your pregnancy and for that you must track your ovulation. Because, as mentioned in the previous chapter intercourse around ovulation increase your chance of getting pregnant. I have also mentioned, ovulation takes place on 14th day in case of regular cycle (28days) and 14 days prior to next period date in case of longer cycle (>35days). Here are some tips how track ovulation.

      Signs of ovulation, that help you to track your time of ovulation.

      • Basal body temperature (BBT): It’s a resting body temperature which rises after ovulation due to release of progesterone hormone. Select a BBT thermometer with two decimal place to provide accurate readings. Measure your BBT at the same time every morning even on weekend and during your menstrual period. The best time to take BBT is upon waking, before getting out of bed and before engaging in any physical activity or even speaking. Try to minimize any factors that might affect your BBT which include lack of sleep, alcohol consumption (if any), illness, stress or any other condition that can disrupt your sleep pattern. Ovulation typically increase BBT around 0.5-1⁰ F (0.3 to 0.6⁰ C) Your BBT increases 0.5-1 F after ovulation. The limitation of this method is it may not pinpoint the exact day of ovulation with absolute certainty. It is more effective when combined with other methods of tracking ovulation
