Factors Involved in Conception |
|
|
To become pregnant there must be:
- a mature ovum (egg)
- healthy sperm – to fertilize the egg
- fertile mucus – to keep the sperm alive until they reach the egg
- healthy fallopian tubes – for the sperm to travel along to the egg and the fertilized egg to travel down to the uterus (womb)
- healthy endometrium – lining of the womb where the baby implants and grows
- loving relationship between mother and father (psychological aspect)
