How Does Fertilisation and implantation Work?

Fertilisation and implantation are like when two friends meet up and start a new adventure together inside your body.

Fertilisation is when an egg meets a sperm, think of it like when two best friends shake hands and say, "Let's go on a journey!" This happens in the fallopian tube, which is like a hallway where they meet. The sperm swims all the way from the vagina to find the egg, and when they join together, they make a new cell called a zygote, it’s like a tiny baby that’s just starting its life.

Once the zygote is made, it starts to travel down the uterus, which is like a cozy room where it can grow up. This journey takes about 6 days, and during that time, the zygote keeps dividing into more cells, it's like when you have a tiny ball of playdough, and every day you keep squishing it to make it bigger.

Implantation is when this growing group of cells sticks itself to the uterine wall, like a sticker on your notebook. Once it’s stuck there, it can start getting food from your body, and that's how pregnancy begins!
