Implantation of a Fertilized Egg
When trying to conceive, it’s sometimes hard not to scrutinize every sign and symptom you feel for possible signs of pregnancy. One of the most tell tale signs of pregnancy for many women is implantation, or when the fertilized egg implants into the lining of the uterus.

How Is Pregnancy Due Date Caluclated?
You may have visited your obstetrician for your first prenatal visit expecting to find out when you due date is. One of the questions she will ask you is, “What was the date of the first day of your last menstrual period?” and “How long does your cycle normally last”. She then miraculously comes up with an expected due date of your baby.
