Conception occurs when an ovum has been relased during ovulation and is fertilised by a sperm in the ampulla of the fallopian tubes. In a natural conception, the fertilised egg (now called a zygote) implants in the wall of the uterus approximately 6 days after fertilization. In the early stages of development, it is called an embryo and later a foetus.
