The beginning of a new life

Conception is the amazing formation of a new human being from two single cells. This new life begins with fertilization of the mother's ovum, or egg, by the father's sperm cell, forming a zygote which is the first cell of your new baby's body. The whole miraculous process started some time ago, in your body and that of your partner...

A woman's reproductive cycle

Every month in one of a woman's ovaries, several immature eggs begin to develop. One of the cells in this group will be chosen to mature completely, suppressing growth of the others. This “dominant follicle” will later rupture and release the egg from the ovary- known as ovulation. Ovulation generally occurs about two weeks before a woman's next menstrual period is due to begin.

After the egg is released, the remaining ruptured follicle in the ovary forms a structure called the Corpus Luteum which is responsible for producing the hormones progesterone and estrogen. Progesterone has the important job of thickening and preparing the lining of the uterus (endometrium) for the embryo to implant and develop in.

Once the egg has been released from the ovary it moves down the woman's fallopian tube and this is where fertilization may occur. In general, the ovum can be fertilized for approximately 24 hours after ovulation.

If the egg is not fertilized the Corpus Luteum will degenerate, causing hormonal changes and the break-down of the endometrium which results in menstrual bleeding.

Fertilization

If a sperm cell does penetrate the egg after ovulation, fertilization has occurred and a new life has been created. Fertilization usually occurs within the mother's fallopian tube - a structure in-between the ovary and uterus (womb).

When the father's sperm cell fertilizes the egg, other sperm cells are immediately prevented from penetrating the egg by a change in the outer protein coat of the ovum.

At the moment of fertilization, or conception, much of your child's make-up will be decided. The coloring of hair, skin and eyes, the sex of your baby, and factors influencing height and build, are all determined at fertilization by information on the genetic material or DNA.

Twins and multiple pregnancies

Occasionally two (or even more) eggs are released by the ovary and both fertilized. This results in fraternal twins. This used to be uncommon but the rate of fraternal twins and multiple pregnancies are on the increase due to fertility treatment becoming more popular. Such twins will be no more similar than any other siblings as they have been conceived from separate egg and sperm cells. They may even be of opposite sexes.

More rarely, an embryo splits into two and two new beings begin to develop. This instance will produce identical twins: siblings completely alike in their genetic material though still two distinct beings.

Implantation

Within 24 hours of the union of egg and sperm, the resulting zygote will have begun to grow by rapid cell division. It continues to divide while moving down the fallopian tube towards the uterus where the embryo will implant into the uterine wall and continue to develop throughout pregnancy.

Once implantation has occurred, hormones are released in the mother's body which prevent menstruation. This is usually the first indication of pregnancy, along with tender breasts and sometimes nausea.

Testing for pregnancy

From the moment of conception a hormone known as HCG (Human Chorionic Gonadotrophin) is present in your blood. This hormone is used by most pregnancy tests to confirm pregnancy though levels usually reach a detectable level only 3-4 weeks after the mother's last menstrual period.

Tests may be done at home with a home pregnancy testing kit obtainable from most pharmacies or by a health professional at your doctor’s office or local community health center.
