|Prompt=A couple is trying to conceive a child for 5 years. During their visit to the in-vitro fertilization (IVF) center, the physician informs the family that during IVF, the embyro is directly implanted in the uterus. In a normal pregnancy, at which day post-fertilization does an embryo undergoes implantation in the uterus?

The physician informs the family that during IVF, the embyro is directly implanted in the uterus. In a normal pregnancy, at which day post-fertilization does an embryo undergoes implantation in the uterus?
|Explanation=During a normal pregnancy, fertilization is considered to occur at day 0. The fertilization process typically occurs in the ampullary-ischmic junction of the fallopian tubes. Soon after fertilization occurs, the oocyte proceeds with the meiosis II that had been arrested after ovulation. The fertilized egg continues to descend along the fallopian tube as mitosis of the embryo progressively occurs to become a morula on day 3 and a blastocyst on day 5. On day 6, the blastocyst reaches the endometrium and implantation starts. Soon after implantation takes place, hCG is secreted and pregnancy then becomes detectable by serum and urinary concentrations of hCG within 10-14 days post-fertilization.
