When do implantation takes place?
Implantation. Once the embryo reaches the blastocyst stage, approximately five to six days after fertilization , it hatches out of its zona pellucida and begins the process of implantation in the uterus. In nature, 50 percent of all fertilized eggs are lost before a woman's missed menses.
