Embryo implantation The implantation of the embryo is the process by which the fertilized ovule adheres to the endometrium to continue its development and lead to an evolutive pregnancy. Thanks to implantation, this embryo will be able to receive oxygen and nutrients from the mother via the blood during the next months of pregnancy. The embryonic implantation begins on the seventh or eighth day of embryonic development, that is, after fertilization of the ovum by the sperm, and may last several days. Embryonic development and implantation bleeding For this embryonic implantation to occur, it is necessary that the endometrium of the mother be receptive, that the embryo is in a blastocyst state and that there is total synchrony between the two. During the implantation process, the blastocyst invades the endometrium and breaks its blood vessels to form new ones that allow exchange with maternal blood through the placenta and the umbilical cord. The rupture of these small vessels of ...

Normally in reproduction the endometrium receives less attention than the ovary. However, this is changing in recent years and there are currently many studies that study the importance of knowing the morphology of the endometrium and determine if there is a defect in the luteal phase that can cause failures in the implantation.
