Fertilisation
Fertilisation of the egg
The fusion of the egg and sperm? during fertilisation is really quite magical - in a few months, those two tiny cells will have developed into a baby. Trying to understand the beauty of foetal development is currently a major research topic for scientists around the world.
In this section, we will give you a brief overview of the first few days of foetal development, from cellular division to implantation. We will also explain how biologists go about selecting the best embryos for re-implantation after IVF or ICSI.
Most people think that the egg and the sperm meet in the uterus? but it actually usually takes place in the outermost third of the Fallopian tube?. The fertilised egg then begins to divide rapidly as they travel for days towards the uterus where they will hopefully be implanted in the lining.
DuoFertility will help you plan baby-making intercourse for the best time of the month by accurately identifying when you are ovulating.
