FINALLY! The moment has arrived...well not THAT moment, but the moment that will start your journey on the long road of pregnancy and motherhood...you've conceived! During this week your little bundle of cells (or zygote) divides several times to become a little ball of microscopic cells that will soon grow to your little snuggle bug! As it divides the blastocyst (I know medical terminology really needs to be revamped) moves down your fallopian tube to the uterus, where it will implant into the uterine wall and grow.
Now at this point you are blissfully (or not blissfully if this is the one millionth time you've tried to conceive) unaware of what's going on inside your body. Although your body is hard at work producing the hormones estrogen and progesterone to help your body house your little one, nothing is really happening to you physically...yet. Although you may experience some "break through bleeding" when the blastocyst implants in the uterine lining. Don't worry if you mistake this as a really light period...I did.
