Where is an egg implanted in the uterus?

The term egg implantation was an important and key step in early pregnancy. There the fertilized eggs attached to the uterus lining. After the process of fertilization in the fallopian tube, eggs become blastocysts, and they travel towards the uterus. It may take 5-6 days to reach. The uterus thickens its lining in preparation for egg implantation. This process is known as endometrium, and it all happens under the influence of the hormone progesterone. After ovulation it takes around 6-10 days during egg implantation. The endometrium and blastocyst attach together and slowly burrow into it. Specialized cells begin to form, and later they develop into the placenta, which helps to supply nutrients and oxygen to the growing embryo. After the embryo successfully implants, the body starts to grow HCG (human chorionic gonadotropin), where this hormone leads to maintaining uterine lining and supports pregnancy. Progesterone level drops when implantation does not occur, and that thickened uterus lining breaks down and the menstrual cycle begins.

Signs and symptoms of egg implantation:

• Light spotting or bleeding: This is the earliest sign, and it happens when the fertilized eggs embed in the uterine lining, and this occurs 6-12 days after the ovulation period.
• Mild cramps: slight pulling or pinching under the stomach at the lower abdomen. These pains are usual and lesser than a menstrual cycle pain and don’t last long.
• Breast Tenderness: After the implantation, hormonal changes happen; due to this, it may lead to a sore, swollen, or sensitive breast similar to PMS symptoms.
• Fatigue: Due to a rise in progesterone, implantation can cause tiredness and drowsiness. It uses more energy because it is the starting stage of pregnancy.
• Nausea or Food Sensitivity: Some women have a heavy level of cravings for food; these were one of the main Egg implantation symptoms.
• Bloating: Digestion was slowed due to increased progesterone; it may cause bloating or a gassy feeling, mistaken for normal premenstrual bleeding.
• Increased urination: Due to hormonal changes, you may notice continuous urination problems and increased blood flow.

What Happens After Implantation?

• HCG production begins: human chorionic gonadotropin produced by the embryo when the hormone is detected by the pregnancy test.
• Menstruation stops: HCG gives a signal to the body to maintain uterine lining and prevent the menstrual cycle from continuing.
• Placenta formation starts: the placenta was formed from the embryo cells, and it supplies nutrients and oxygen to help grow a baby.
• The amniotic sac develops: it forms around the embryo and provides protection and also a stable environment.
• Hormonal changes: increase progesterone and estrogen to support pregnancy and cause early symptoms in implantation of fertilized eggs.
• Embryo growth continues: embryos were divided, which began the early development of organs and tissues.
• Early pregnancy symptoms may appear: due to hormonal shifts, you may have fatigue, nausea, breast tenderness, and increased urination.

Factors that affect embryo implantation in IVF

In IVF, egg implantation refers to the stage where the fertilized eggs attach to the lining of the uterus, which is one of the critical stages of pregnancy. The quality of the embryo was an important factor which influenced implantation. Even when the egg is fertilized, the quality of the embryo was poor, then it was not joined to the uterine wall.

For implantation, the endometrium must occur well nourished, thick enough (7-14 mm), and receptive. Implantation drops significantly when the lining is too thin, inflamed, or not properly synchronized with the embryo development stage. Hormones such as progesterone and estrogen prepare the uterus to receive embryos. The endometrium was not ready when the embryo arrives due to hormones not being at the right levels. Managing these factors through medical support and healthy habits can improve in vitro fertilization (IVF).
