Pregnancy Day by Day: Day 22
By day 22 of your pregnancy implantation is likely to have occured or be occuring. Implantation usually occurs around 7 to 10 days after fertilisation, ie after the egg and sperm have met and joined together.
Implantation signifies the point at which the zygote reaches the uterus and burrows deeply into the uterine lining. You are now officially pregnanct even though it is too early to tell for sure yet.
Some women sense the moment of implantation and some even notice a tiny amount of spotting around this time which is sometimes mistaken for a very light period.
