Once ripened egg is released from the ruptured follicle into the abdominal cavity, it enters the fallopian tube. In favorable circumstances it into the fallopian tube is already "waiting" sperm. Thus, fertilization occurs in this location. Then the fertilized egg tends to get into the uterus to firmly to gain a foothold there. This process is called implantation. After implantation of an egg has occurred can be called an embryo.

At the time of the introduction of the egg into the thickness of the functional layer of the endometrium, which had already been prepared for implantation, occurring microscopic vascular injury. The blood that poured from the broken vessel is called implantation bleeding. In addition, another mechanism in the occurrence of bleeding is the formation of joint vessels - bridges between the egg and the uterine wall.

  • General discomfort

At the time of the introduction of the egg into the interior lining of the uterus, some women feel bursting, pulling or light cramps in the abdomen. If a woman feels intense pain - this is the first sign of gynecological diseases.

  • Implantation retraction on the graph of basal temperature

Characteristic changes in rectal temperature schedule may identify only those women who regularly for a long time its measurement was performed. As you know, normally, the first phase of the menstrual cycle, the temperature stays below 37 degrees, and the second (luteal) phase, it increases and the corresponding figure 37, 2-37, 5 degrees. Since the mid-luteal phase of a gradual decrease in progesterone Progesterone - norm and pathology  Progesterone - norm and pathology
 Respectively, reduction occurs basal temperature. The sharp drop in temperature on a single day at the time of implantation is called implantation retraction. This phenomenon is due to the drop in the level of progesterone and estrogen production beginning. Once an embryo attach to the uterine wall, the formation of progesterone resumes, and basal temperature stays above 37 degrees.
