Quiz on understanding conception

Do You Really Understand Conception?

April 17, 2008

Yes, we all know there is more to conception than the birds and the bees, but most of us don't stop and think about the science of it. As anyone who has had trouble conceiving knows, it's complicated.

Doctors usually calculate the start of pregnancy from the first day of your last menstrual period. This is called the menstrual age and is about two weeks ahead of when conception actually occurs. Do you know what happens next? Take my quiz and find out!

I took question 3 to mean the egg stayed there indefinitely so I anwered false.

I'm with the others. #3 doesn't sound right. I thought the egg kept traveling and if it wasn't fertilized, implanted in the uterus resulting in menstruation.

After giving birth 11 years ago, I only got 4/7. No wonder I am having trouble conceiving now. Time to get back to basics, girls.

Is #3 REALLY true? I've been menstruating since I was 13, but have only been pregnant twice, does that mean that those hundreds of unfertilized eggs have remained in my fallopian tubes waiting for sperm to fertilize them????? True or False: The egg is released and travels into the fallopian tube where it remains until a single sperm penetrates it during fertilization. Your answer: False Correct answer: True The egg is released and travels into the fallopian tube where it remains until a single sperm penetrates it during fertilization

Natural Family Planning. :) Tracking your body's fertile signs, temperature, etc to either conceive or avoid conception.

Greggie---what's "NFP"? i'm ttc and am looking to understand how it works even more. thanks.

Question 3 is worded badly, I agree. It makes it sound like an egg will hang in the tubes indefinately until it's fertilized, which isn't true. Also, two sperm can penetrate one egg. Changes occur to HELP prevent it, but aren't always successful.

I will anniekim :) I'm starting to wonder b/c I was reading on the box and it said to take the test again in 3 days b/c it could read a false negative

I did terribly! 3/7. It's a wonder that I have any kids. Kikidawn--take the test again in 3 days and let us know . My current pregnancy started with a negative test!

You know, even those of us who haven't had trouble conceiving can understand how complicated it is. NFP is a great education in what goes on in my body.

6/7 close enough. i'm ashamed of the one i got wrong though...pretty stupid.

JennyJen 5 years 4 weeks

Wow - I really did bad on the test!

abqmama 5 years 4 weeks

Wow, I can't believe I got all those right!

I say question 3 is a trick question. It makes it sound like it stays there forever, which it does not.
