Where is the ovum usually fertilised by a sperm?
in the oviduct
How can the oviduct be blocked?
A woman can only become pregnant if an ovum (egg cell) from her ovary is released into the oviduct and fertilised by a sperm there before moving down into the uterus and becoming implanted in the endometrium wall. If your oviducts are blocked, the ovum cannot travel into it and meet sperm so it can be fertilised so pregnancy is impossible.
Where does implantation of the fertilised ovum occur?
Implantation of the fertilized ovum typically occurs in the lining of the uterus, known as the endometrium. The fertilized egg undergoes several divisions as it travels from the fallopian tubes and embeds itself into the uterine lining to establish a successful pregnancy.
What does the uterus lining do to the fertillised ovum?
After fertilization, the uterus lining provides nourishment and protection for the fertilized ovum. The ovum implants in the uterus lining, where it receives nutrients and support for development into an embryo.

Uterus
Why are you more likely to get pregnant when you are on your period?
You are very unlikely to get pregnant during your period as the ovum (egg) was released two weeks before and will have passed out of the body long before and the lining of the uterus (which the fertilised egg embeds in) is no longer there.
