fertilization take place in - #6625
I recently started learning about conception, and I was wondering—where does fertilization take place in the female body? I’ve always heard that sperm meets the egg somewhere in the reproductive system, but what’s the exact location? From what I understand, fertilization takes place in the fallopian tube, but how does the sperm even reach the egg? How long does the egg stay there, and what happens if fertilization doesn’t occur? Also, if fertilization happens in the fallopian tube, how does the fertilized egg travel to the uterus for implantation? Can anything go wrong during this process, like an ectopic pregnancy? For couples trying to conceive, are there ways to improve the chances of fertilization taking place successfully? What factors affect sperm and egg quality?
