Many are being confused by theories and myths of how pregnancy starts. Some believe what their grandmother told them when they were kids. How does a woman get pregnant? When does a woman get pregnant? These are simple questions but do you really know the answer to these questions?
Pregnancy happens when semen enters a female vagina which happens during unprotected intercourse. The sperm then unites with egg if a woman has ovulated. Ovulation happens once a month. The sperm and egg however have a lifespan. The egg can live for about 46-48 hours while a sperm can live up to five days. A sperm cell?s lifespan however depends on the chromosome it is carrying. A male sperm lives shorter, for about two days, compared to a female sperm which can live up to about five days.
The egg can live for about 46-48 hours while a sperm can live up to five days. A sperm cell?s lifespan however depends on the chromosome it is carrying. A male sperm lives shorter, for about two days, compared to a female sperm which can live up to about five days.
When the egg and the sperm unite, they form a zygote. The zygote then in five days turns into clump of cells which are called blastocyst. The blastocyst then will travel to the uterus where it will attach itself. This is called implantation. Once this happens, it can be said that the pregnancy has officially started. In here, the blastocyst will divide, multiply, and grow and develop into an embryo. After a couple, of months, the embryo then will develop into a fetus. The fetus then will grow through three trimesters until you deliver out your baby.
However, if the sperm and the egg cell fail to unite, the egg dies and the uterine lining disintegrates. The blood and the tissue from the uterus will then passed out of the body through the vagina. This is the reason then why a woman has her menstruation monthly.
