Implantation failure and infertility Dr Uzma Fatema It is a widely-held view that Anovulation is the only problem causing infertility in women. But there are other reasons too that stop a woman from becoming a mother. Let’s first know what is Anovulation? It is an ovary’s inability to release an ovum for three or more months in a row. In a healthy woman, an ovary secrets an ovum every 25-28 days depending on her cycles. Pregnancy occurs when a sperm, a male gamet, unites with an ovum, a female gamete. If one of these two is not present then pregnancy does not happen. Implantation failure Not many know implantation failure is another big reason for infertility in women.

But before knowing implantation failure we must know what the implantation process is? Definition of implantation. Implantation is the process of attachment of fertilized egg i.e. zygote with an endometrial wall Uterus. When a zygote form (by the meeting of an ovum with sperm) it must get attach to the uterine wall to get nourished and can grow into a fetus.

In today’s times, technology has reached at such an advanced level that doctors can use them ...

Ovulation occurs on every 14th day of menstrual cycle or it is better to say it occurs 14 days ahead of the expected period date (bleeding). You have only 24 hrs In a woman's body, an ovum can survive only for 48 hours after its release from ovary out of which it remains viable only for 24 hours. This means the sperm can fertilise it only in this time period. and after that the ovum can't be fertilised.  This is the most suitable time for fertilisation if the sperm wants to meet with it in the fallopian tube.  How to detect ovulation?
