According to some reading I've been doing, it's not a zygote once it implants. A zygote is simply a fertilized egg before it splits. After it starts splitting and multiplying, it's officially an embryo. So it's an embryo that implants, not a zygote. And after reading that, my biology class came back to me and I remembered it.
Gametes=>zygote (sperm+egg but no cell division)=>morula (cell division)=>blastocyst=>embryo (from implantation to wk 8)=>fetus. Some have taken to calling zygote through embryo an embryo, so it may be becoming accepted. That might be off, but... I tend to forget stuff when I've taken the final and moved on. :) Embryology's great though; I'd recommend it to any student if they want to be stressed for a few months.
ETA: the blastocyst is what implants... I remember that because the part that digs into the lining is the trophoblast. I think I found the terminology to be cool, so I retained it.
Good luck, Fluff! I'm sure whatever happens today, it'll work out in the end.

Wow, that's a lot of names. LOL....so yeah, it's a baby.
Good luck at your appointment. Are you getting a female exam too? If it's your first ever, you can ask for a child speculum.

Yes, blastocyte.
I never took embryology. I decided I wasn't going into medicine by that point. I should've learned that in my physiology class though. In fact, I probably did. But didn't retain it. I don't remember a lot of my biology, but general chemistry: I'm your gal.
At any rate ... good luck Jennifery. The first appt is the hardest one. After that, they are easier. Just remember to BREATHE!!!

Okay so I went today and it was not bad as I had thought it to be ....the whole uncomfortable part was over fairly quickly...and he gave me a prescription for ortho tric-cyclen (generic)
although they found a lump on my breast and he believes it is more then likely a cyst but he made me appointment tomorrow with radiology place to have it checked out.

Well today I went to doctor and they did an ultra sound and then I sat and waited in dark room for awhile but I got good results I thought it was going to be a cyst but it was Fibroadenomas which is a non-cancerous tumor. He told me not to worry and everything was going to be fine but they want to have a biopsy or w.e. to get a sample and test it... which Im going to talk to my doctor and see if I could put it off until after I get married... unless he thinks I should go ahead with it now... but I am happy to hear good news because it runs in family apparently :/ my aunts has had problems with it but they get it and it comes back... Doctor said If I was taking vitaman E to stop but multi ones are okay. anyways just thought I should share my praise

That must have been never-wracking... I am glad I found out that day although the waiting seemed to be very long lol
Breast Cancer runs on both sides of my family so I am really taking this as oppertunity to check more often...
I think I will hold off the biopsy at least until after I am married but my doctor may think differently?

I personally would not wait to do the biopsy...even though they are pretty sure it is benign. It is done by needle aspiration and heals quickly and does not leave a large scar...and it would be just done that way.

I ditto WOF, I wouldn't wait either. Biopsies suck, I've had 3 done on my cervix but it's much easier to know and not have to worry. Not to mention if there is something wrong...
