The best way to know if there has been fertilization and nesting is to wait for the first symptoms of pregnancy that appear a few weeks after the sperm enters the egg. However, fertilization can generate very subtle symptoms such as a slight pink discharge and some abdominal discomfort, similar to menstrual cramps, which may be the first symptoms of pregnancy.

What is fertilization
Human fertilization is the name given when an egg is fertilized by a sperm, during the woman's fertile period, beginning a pregnancy. It can also be called conception and usually occurs in the fallopian tubes. After a few hours, the zygote, which is the fertilized egg, migrates to the uterus, where it will develop, the latter being called nesting. The word nesting means 'nest' and as soon as the fertilized egg settles in the womb, it is believed that it has found its nest.
How fertilization occurs
Fertilization occurs as follows: an egg is released from one of the ovaries approximately 14 days before the first day of the menstrual period begins and proceeds to one of the fallopian tubes.
If sperm are present, fertilization occurs and the fertilized egg is transported to the uterus. In the absence of sperm, fertilization does not occur, then menstruation occurs.
In situations where more than one egg is released and fertilized, a multiple pregnancy occurs and, in this case, the twins are fraternal. The identical twins are the result of the separation of a single fertilized egg into two independent cells.
