In the uterus, the morula becomes a blastocyst and eventually burrows into the uterine lining in a process called implantation. Although some women report feeling cramping or pain during the implantation process, not everyone will experience this symptom.
Q. How long after ovulation does conception happen?
Fertilization and Embryo Development Following ovulation, the egg is capable of fertilization for only 12 to 24 hours. Contact between the egg and sperm is random. Once the egg arrives at a specific portion of the tube, called the ampullar-isthmic junction, it rests for another 30 hours.

Q. What happens after conceiving?
Under normal circumstances, fertilization occurs in one of the Fallopian tubes, then the fertilized egg begins to make its way to the uterus. By about the fifth day after conception, the embryo finally reaches the uterus, where it implants itself in the endometrium, or uterine lining.
Q. How long does it take for sperm to fertilize an egg?
Pregnancy doesn’t start the day you have sex — it can take up to six days after sex for the sperm and egg to join and form a fertilized egg. Then, it can take three to four days for the fertilized egg to completely implant itself in the lining of the uterus.
Q. What part of sperm enters the egg?
sperm centriole
Q. Does whole sperm enter egg?
As the fertilizing sperm enters, it usually loses its flagellum. Sperm entry stimulates the secondary oocyte to complete its second meiotic division. The head of the haploid sperm then swells to form the male pronucleus and fuses with the female pronucleus to form the diploid nucleus of the zygote.
Q. What part is the sperm?
The head of the sperm contains the DNA, which when combined with the egg’s DNA, will create a new individual. The tip of the sperm head is the portion called the acrosome, which enables the sperm to penetrate the egg. The midpiece contains the mitochondria which supplies the energy the tail needs to move.
Q. Does sperm transport genetic material?
Sperm-Mediated Gene Transfer Mechanism The method for SMGT uses the sperm cell, a natural vector of genetic material, to transport exogenous DNA. The exogenous DNA molecules bind to the cell membrane of the head of the sperm cell. This binding and internalization of the DNA is not a random event.
Q. What are the signs of low sperm count in a man?
Low sperm count symptoms might include:
- Problems with sexual function — for example, low sex drive or difficulty maintaining an erection (erectile dysfunction)
- Pain, swelling or a lump in the testicle area.
- Decreased facial or body hair or other signs of a chromosome or hormone abnormality.
