Learn the Symptoms of Fertilization

The symptoms of fertilization, such as abdominal pain and pink discharge, are felt when the embryo formed is fixed to the wall of the woman's uterus where it will develop during pregnancy.

Usually these signs are not frequent and many women do not notice them, but one should be aware of the appearance of a small light pink bleeding until the 3rd day after intimate contact, as it may represent the beginning of pregnancy.

How to know if there was fertilization

In order for fertility to occur, and consequently pregnancy, a viable spermatozoon needs to find an ovum, and it is necessary for the woman to be in the fertile period. The eggs remain viable 12 to 24 hours on their way to the uterus, while the sperm survive between 48 and 72 hours.

The symptoms of fertilization are not always present, but some may show signs of fertilization, the main ones being:

1. Take abdominal colic on the 6th or 7th day after the fertile period;
2. Slight pink discharge after 10 to 12 days of fertile period;
3. Tiredness and drowsiness;
4. Mild and persistent headache;
5. Breasts swollen and sore.

How to confirm pregnancy

In addition, another way to detect pregnancy is through an ultrasound examination, which can identify the presence of the embryo in the uterus and the baby's heartbeat. It is also important to remember that after confirming the pregnancy, one should seek out the gynecologist and initiate prenatal follow-up.
