What Happens to Ovulation After Implantation?
Essentially, nothing happens to ovulation after implantation. Implantation is the process through which a fertilized egg is implanted in a woman’s uterus. The egg is fertilized after ovulation, and implantation typically occurs at least a few days later. This means that by the time implantation occurs, ovulation is over and will not occur again until the woman is no longer pregnant. Ovulation is basically put on hold once fertilization and implantation have occurred. In order for a woman to become pregnant, she must ovulate. This means an egg must be released from an ovary. The egg is usually only viable for about 24 hours, during which time sperm could fertilize it and begin a pregnancy. After the egg is released from the ovaries, it travels through a woman’s fallopian tube toward her uterus. When conception occurs, it usually takes place in the fallopian tube. Once the egg is released from the ovary, however, ovulation is complete.
