Oh sweetie, the egg actually forms before conception! During ovulation, the egg is released, and once it meets the sperm, it forms the embryo. It's such a beautiful, magical process when you think about it.
According to my tracker app, the egg is released during ovulation and then fertilized to form an embryo. No new egg is formed after conception. Tracking your ovulation cycle is the best way to understand this process!
I am also quite new to all of this and feel a bit shy asking, but my MIL told me that conception means the baby has already started forming from the egg. It's such a gentle and beautiful phase, hope we both get good news soon.
I am in my 20th week now and I still find the whole biology so confusing! Did anyone else also search Google for hours about how the embryo forms? It's completely normal to have these doubts when it's your first time.
Actually, my doctor at Fortis explained this beautifully to me. The egg is already there and gets fertilized by the sperm to form a zygote, not a new egg. You should definitely ask your doctor to explain the biological timeline next visit, it's fascinating.
Listen, don't confuse yourself with too much science, dear. The egg is already present, and after conceiving, it simply starts growing into your little baby. Just focus on your health and don't stress over these details.
I had this exact same confusion when I first got pregnant! So basically, the egg is already there, and once conceived, it turns into an embryo. Are you also trying to understand the weekly development of the baby?
