We might have seen this video do the rounds, but do you know what it means? When you get your period, your lining sheds and comes out with blood and maybe some cloths. Soon after, the uterus begins to prepare for the next cycle by creating a nice thick lining for your baby's home. When all this falls into place, one follicle from your ovary will release an egg. This is only the first of many steps to getting pregnant. When sperm are able to make it all the way to the phlobeantube, your egg chooses one that it allows through. That's when the magic really begins. A zygote is formed and cells begin to multiply as it finds a nice cozy place to implant in your uterus. If the egg isn't fertilized within 12 to 24 hours, it falls apart after wiggling through the phlobeantube. Follow me and Anita Fertility to learn more about your fertility.
