"When does the fertilized egg implant into the uterus?
The egg becomes fertilized with a sperm within 12 hours after ovulation, usually in the outer portion of the fallopian tube. It then travels down the fallopian tube, increasing its size along the way. In the fallopian tube it becomes the zygote and doubles to two cells, four cells, then eight cells and becomes the "morula." As it enters the uterine cavity it's called a "blastocyst."
Implantation happens when the fertilized egg (blastocyst) attaches to the uterine wall and starts producing the pregnancy hormone hCG. Based on a study published in 1999 (Time of Implantation of the Conceptus and Loss of Pregnancy; Allen J. Wilcox, M.D. et.al. NEJM Volume 340:1796-1799) implantation happens on average 9.1 days after ovulation with a range of 6-12 days. In 84% of pregnancies implantation happened between days 8 and 10 after ovulation."

When are you testing? We are so close and both trying for girls...was curious. I bought the online tests so I cant resist testing every dang morning lol. I think Im imagining a faint line, DH cant see it and I know its too early. Thinking about stopping the madness and picking a day and sticking to it. What are your plans?
