Uterine wall bonding
Embryo implantation is the process by which a fertilized egg attaches to the uterine wall, establishing pregnancy.
The embryo burrows into the uterine lining about six to ten days after fertilization.
In fertility medicine, implantation refers specifically to the transfer of lab-fertilized embryos: The implantation was successful on the second attempt.
