How long does it take for a girl to get pregnant

For women who are planning to get pregnant, being able to successfully conceive a healthy baby is the greatest wish. In order to ensure a successful pregnancy, female friends all use the ovulation period as the best time, hoping to increase the chance of pregnancy. Generally speaking, how long does it take from intercourse to successful pregnancy, and what are the symptoms of successful pregnancy?

How long does it take to successfully conceive?

Generally, male sperm can survive in the female body for 2-3 days, and the egg cell has the strongest fertilization ability within 12 hours after being released. This requires couples who are preparing for pregnancy to accurately grasp the ovulation period to create opportunities for the fusion of sperm and egg.

After the sperm enters the woman's body, it passes through the uterus and enters the fallopian tubes. This process takes a few minutes to a few hours. Sperm and egg meet and fertilize in the ampulla of the fallopian tube. The sperm and egg combine and begin cell division within 24 hours after fertilization, and continue to move into the uterine cavity, reaching the uterine cavity after about 3-4 days.

About 6-8 days after fertilization, the test tube embryo begins to implant. This process takes about 4-5 days. After implantation, the test tube embryo will continue to divide and grow.

Symptoms of successful pregnancy

1. Breast pain. After pregnancy, a large amount of testosterone appears in the female body, which causes the breasts to feel sore, soft and swollen. Generally, after the body is adjusted, this pain will disappear quickly and will no longer feel uncomfortable.

2. Feeling tired. A lot of secretion of luteinizing hormone can make people feel exhausted and often want to sleep.

3. Frequent and urgent urination. After the sperm and egg combine and implant in the endometrium, they begin to secrete the human sex hormone HCG, which can cause frequent urination and urgency.

4. Bleeding or muscle spasm. When the sperm and egg combine and the embryo implants in the uterine wall, mild bleeding may occur, sometimes accompanied by cramps.

Under normal circumstances, if a woman has the above-mentioned early pregnancy reaction about 8-11 days after having sex, she can check with an early pregnancy test paper or go to the hospital for a blood HCG test to check whether she is pregnant. If you are indeed pregnant, you should see a doctor for an ultrasound examination around 8 weeks of pregnancy to confirm whether it is an intrauterine pregnancy. If other abnormalities are found, you can seek treatment as soon as possible to reduce the harm to your body.
