The endometrium (the inner membrane of the uterus) has several motion schemes and during the embryo’s arrival phase, its function is to keep it in the uterine cavity, impeding its expulsion and implantation in inadequate areas. The study shows what happens to embryos when they get to the uterus, both naturally through the fallopian tubes and after an In Vitro Fertilization treatment through the cervix.

What if I am spotting? If you start to have vaginal spotting, don’t panic.
