Implantation (human embryo)

In humans (as in all other mammals, except for monotremes), implantation is the very early stage of pregnancy at which the conceptus adheres to the wall of the uterus. At this stage of prenatal development, the conceptus is a blastocyst. It is by this adhesion that the foetus receives oxygen and nutrients from the mother to be able to grow. In humans, implantation of a fertilized ovum is most likely to occur about 9 days after ovulation, ranging between 6 and 12 days.
