implantation

Implantation bleeding is one of several typical pregnancy symptoms and pregnancy signs. It usually happens around 6-12 days after ovulation and fertilization. 

An ectopic pregnancy is a pregnancy that implants abnormally outside the uterus usually in the fallopian tube.

The HCG level usually rises as pregnancy progresses, doubling every 48-72 hours until 11-12 weeks of the pregnancy. HCG or Human Chorionic Gonadotropin is the pregnancy hormone which is produced by the placenta and is detected with pregnancy tests.

For many couples getting pregnant and trying to conceive is easy. However, for others getting pregnant can take a long time and they have to resort to reproductive technology.

A negative pregnancy test before a missed period could mean you tested too early; if your test is still negative after a missed period it often means you are not pregnant.

Good eggs and low FSH on CD 3 are important to improve chances of a healthy pregnancy.

Many couple trying to get pregnant have questions which are answered by the BabyMed FAQs.

hCG is the "pregnancy hormone" which is being produced by the placenta as soon as implantation happens about one week after fertilization and ovulation.

Researchers from Prince Henry’s Institute of Medical Research in
Australia recently published an in-vitro study that could hold the key
to increasing implantation success rates. The study was published in the
journal Human Reproduction.

Diagnostic workups are a crucial part of fertility planning and
treatment. According to researchers from the University of Foggia, the
anti-PLAC1 antibody may prove to be an important part of future workups.
PLAC1 antibody is a placenta-specific antibody.

Researchers from the Create Fertility Center in Ontario, Canada,
recently published a study comparing preterm birth rates in pregnancies
conceived with blastocysts versus day 5/6 embryos.

Rarely are articles about fertility published in mathematical
journals, but researchers from the Universitat Politecnica de Valencia
are not interested in the fine lines between math and medical science.

Researchers from the Warwick Medical School have recently completed a
study that correlates recurrent miscarriage with a possible flaw in the
fertility window.

Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is used in many IVF/ICSI treatments to facilitate implantation of embryos. Researchers from Poissey Saint German Medical Center wondered if women with recurrent implantation failure shared a common form of polymorphism.

At Tyho-Galileo Research Laboratories, researchers theorized that Moore's Law could be used to predict future IVF outcome just as it had predicted advancement in technology. IVF procedure success has steadily increased in a linear path over the last seven years.

In some medical cases, embryo implantation may be improved by
injuring the endometrial lining. Injury is defined as scratching the
lining of the uterus though researchers in Leichester UK are not sure
how effective the treatment really is.

Implantation bleeding is fairly common with pregnancy. If you have some light spotting before your period would normally start this is not something to worry about and may be a sign of pregnancy.

If you have had spotting and think it might be implantation bleeding you may be paying very close attention to your body. Unfortunately, a pregnancy test will rarely if ever be positive at the time of implantation bleeding. 

Early pregnancy symptoms are often one of the first indications of
pregnancy. Unless a woman is trying to become pregnant and watching
closely for physical changes in the body, a missed menstrual cycle may
be the first clear indication of pregnancy.

Recent studies on genetics show that enhancing expression of particular
developmental genes at certain periods in the uterus could help the
success of In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) pregnancies.

With the development and perfection of genetic testing, every chromosome
in the human body can be tested for faults and defects. This testing
can and does take place while the fetus is in-utero, so what is stopping
couples from aborting a fetus because chromosomal testing reveals an
imperfection?

The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists estimate up to 25% of pregnancies will end in pregnant miscarriage, but why does pregnant miscarriage occur?

In most cases, a miscarriage is a protection of sorts from fetal abnormalities or internal issues that could not be controlled by the pregnant woman. The process of implanting the fertilized egg is not perfect and sometimes it takes the female body a few tries to get it right.

Pregnancy is a time in life when women feel closer to their spouse and body more than ever before. Here are a few facts about pregnancy for expecting moms.

Pain during pregnancy is often associated with complications or labor and can be a scary thing. However, not all pain during pregnancy signals a problem. Sometimes, women feel pain during pregnancy because of the many changes happening every day.

The first trimester of pregnancy is one of the most exciting times during pregnancy. Understanding what happens in the body during the first trimester of pregnancy is important as some changes may not feel the way a pregnant woman expected.

After miscarriage, many women have a long list of questions about physical health, mental health and parenthood. Understanding how the body works and what changes happen after miscarriage is often enough to put your mind at ease.

The first half of the fertility cycle is when the follicle stimulating hormone stimulates maturation of an egg. As the egg is maturing, estrogen levels rise causing the luteinizing hormone to increase. The luteinizing hormone forces the egg out of the follicle where maturation occurs.
