Conception ¹ results from the fertilization ² of an ovum ³ by a spermatozoon ⁴ or sperm cell ⁴ and marks the beginning of pregnancy ⁵ or gestation ⁵ for the impregnated woman. In the course of its development the product of conception ⁶ is successively called an embryo ⁷ and then a foetus ⁷ — sometimes written as fetus ⁷. The moment at which the embryo becomes a foetus is not precisely determined: certain scientists set it at the end of 12 weeks or three months of intra—uterine life, although successive developmental stages after the eighth week are often termed foetal. Nidation ⁸ refers to the implantation of the egg in the wall of the uterus ⁹ or womb ⁹, a process which occurs a few days after fertilization.
