If the egg is fertilized, what happens next?

Explanation:
When fertilization occurs, pregnancy begins. The fertilized egg (now a developing embryo) travels to the uterus and implants into the thickened uterine lining. This implantation marks the start of gestation, with hormonal support (especially progesterone) maintaining the uterine environment and preventing shedding of the lining. The cycle doesn’t end immediately; the body shifts to support a pregnancy rather than cycle shedding. Ovulation repeating isn’t the next step after fertilization, and while prostaglandins have roles in reproductive processes, the immediate next event after fertilization is implantation and the onset of gestation.
