Pregnancy is considered to have occurred when the sperm and egg unite to form a fertilized egg and successfully implant in the uterus.
Pregnancy in a woman is the result of the union of a man’s sperm and a woman’s egg to form a fertilized egg that successfully lays in the uterus.
A woman’s ovaries produce follicles during her menstrual cycle. Only one of these follicles will mature and form an egg, which will then be expelled from the ovary and lodge in the fallopian tube to wait for a sperm. After intercourse, the male’s sperm enters through the vagina, and the sperm travels to the fallopian tube to form a fertilized egg with the waiting egg, which then lays in the lining of the uterus, and pregnancy occurs.
There are many factors that can affect the process of pregnancy. It is recommended that both men and women who are preparing for pregnancy undergo preconception tests and seek early medical attention if they feel unwell.
