S. But sure - you go for it! You're a man, right? You'll never be pregnant? So what you
believe is irrelevant.
What actually
happens is what is relevant. I am pregnant. I see medical specialists on an almost weekly basis. I also work in medicine. In fact, one of my employers is a neonatologist. Oh yeah, my uncle is a celebrated fertility specialist.
I know more than you about it. Pretty simple, really.
We could get into the nitty gritty, but, essentially, implantation doesn't happen over one day. It's a period of time and it happens in three phases: apposition, adhesion and the embedding in the endometrium. The embedding in the endometrium (the lining of the uterus) takes place about two weeks after conception, which is the fourth gestational week of pregnancy. The blastocyst is not fully implanted into the uterus until this time.
This is when pregnancy is considered to have `begun'.
