A woman can observe the first signs of implantation of an embryo at herself at the very beginning of the plantation period. But it’s far from the fact that the fair sex in an “interesting” position from the first days of conception will feel all the changes in her body. However, many girls can confidently describe specific feelings during embryo implantation. All the sensations that are observed in this period in the female body, we will present below.
General information
Experts believe that it is extremely important to know what signs of embryo implantation exist. This is due to the fact that such a moment of the emergence of a new life is one of the critical and important periods of pregnancy. This fact is explained by the fact that the future fetus for the mother's body has an alien gene composition. After all, as you know, half of the child’s genes belong to the father (haploid set - 23).
The process and signs of implantation of the embryo into the uterus
After the egg is fertilized by the sperm and the embryo is formed, it is introduced into the uterine cavity, namely in its mucous surface layer. In this case, the villi located on the embryo, in the process of penetrating the uterine tissue, slightly injure it, as a result of which a small amount of blood appears. Further, the embryo finally fixes on the mucous wall and begins to gradually develop.
As a rule, such a moment for each individual woman occurs at different times. But most often, the implementation is carried out from the 8th to the 14th day after direct conception.
It should be especially noted that by this time the embryo already has two germ layers, more precisely, the external and internal. From the last element in the future the fetus will develop, and from the outside the so-called trophoblast, which is the basis of the placenta. It is the leaflet presented that will play a major role in the normal course of pregnancy and the development of the baby. And this is due to the fact that he is fully responsible for the production of special substances that prevent the mother's body from first attacking and then tearing off the nascent fetus.
Features of embryo implantation
About what signs of embryo implantation in the uterus appear in women, we describe a little lower. Now I want to more accurately describe how exactly this special moment occurs.
The place where the embryo enters the uterine tissue swells, accumulates fluid, glycogen, and lipids. This process is called a decidual reaction in medical practice. As mentioned above, in this case, a mucosal defect occurs, and minor bleeding appears. During this process, a woman can feel a slight malaise, as well as observe an increased body temperature (37-37.5 ° C).
It is worth noting that the signs of embryo implantation after the transfer of in vitro fertilization practically do not differ from the natural conception. But at the same time, the symptoms are quite significant for the expectant mother. After all, they are the guarantee that the fertilization procedure was successful, and now the woman has every chance to bear a healthy and strong child. In addition, clear signs of embryo implantation after IVF mean that the rejection reaction has not occurred, and the chances of the pregnancy terminating are decreasing more and more every day.
Not everyone knows that the main symptoms of embryo implantation in the uterine cavity are divided into two types, namely subjective and objective. Consider all manifestations of the introduction of the embryo into the uterus in more detail.
Subjective signs of embryo implantation
These symptoms may include the following:
- stitching, pulling or cutting pain in the lower abdomen;
- nervousness, weakness, drowsiness, and irritability;
- a feeling of scraping and itching in the uterine cavity;
- a feeling of general malaise and fatigue;
- quite often, the signs of embryo implantation remind the fair sex of the state before the onset of menstruation.
It should also be noted that one of the most common and first signs of the embryo's introduction into the uterus is a sensation of a metallic taste in the oral cavity, which is accompanied by slight nausea. Remembering that yesterday was drunk or eaten, women do not even realize that at the moment an embryo is being fixed in their body for further development.
Objective symptoms of embryo implantation
The presented signs include:
- Slight blood or smears on underwear.
- A slight increase in body temperature to 37 and 37.9 degrees. It should also be noted that such a pathological condition can occur in a woman due to other diseases. That is why it is recommended to consult a doctor.
- Detection of chorionic gonadotropin in urine or blood in a representative of the weaker sex. Moreover, the detection of this hormone in the process of laboratory research is a guarantee that pregnancy has occurred, and the embryo is successfully implanted in the uterine cavity.
By the way, late embryo implantation is often observed in women. The signs of this process and the quality of the embryo are no different from the early or normal introduction of a fertilized egg into the uterine cavity.
Other symptoms
It should be noted that not always the body temperature rises when the embryo is introduced into the uterus. Sometimes it can remain normal or even be somewhat reduced. Also, not all women observe bloody discharge. As for the unpleasant sensations in the lower abdomen, this sign is noted in almost every representative of the fair sex during implantation of the embryo. Moreover, these feelings can vary significantly in character and intensity.
Important!
As a rule, during such a moment, women can observe bloody discharge, which, in comparison with menstruation, is much lighter and also quite scarce. If you have excessive bleeding, accompanied by pain in the lower abdomen, you should immediately consult a doctor. After all, this condition may indicate an abortion.
It should be noted that during implantation, the so-called "natural selection" occurs. In other words, incapable and defective fertilized eggs are rejected by the mother's body, preventing the life of embryos with any disorders or pathologies.
