Although one may not feel like something or someone is shifting in the first days of the program, much is actually taking place. The fertilised egg which is now referred to as the zygote, descends to the fallopian tuba and later on to the uterus where it buries itself into the lining of the uterus which is referred to as endometrium. This sets the beginning of the 1st trimester of pregnancy even if you are not fully conscious of it at this particular moment.
