A fertilized ovum, (the females egg), develops into a blastocyst, an embryo, then a fetus.

If a sperm penetrates the egg, fertilization happens. The fertilized egg (zygote) implants into the uterus. The cells of the zygote divide repeatedly as the zygote moves down the fallopian tube. The zygote then takes 3 to 5 days to enter the uterus. In the uterus, the cells continue dividing, becoming a hollow ball of cells called a blastocyst. This then implants itself into the uterus to develop into the placenta and the fetus At the end of the 8th week after fertilization (10 weeks of pregnancy), the embryo is considered a fetus.
