To become pregnant, these steps must occur:
- Sperm Transport: The sperm must be deposited and transported to the site of fertilization
- Egg Transport: Ovulation must occur and the egg must be “picked up” by the tube
- Fertilization and Embryo Development: Union between the sperm and egg must result
- Implantation: The embryo must implant and begin to grow in the uterus
These steps are described in detail below.
