The reasoning: rescue, handover, adaptation
Fertilisation (ampulla, usually within 24 h of ovulation) → cleavage → morula (day 3–4) → blastocyst enters the uterus (~day 4–5) → hatching → implantation (apposition, adhesion, invasion) ~days 6–10 post‑fertilisation, during the progesterone‑dependent window of implantation.
