t’s a question many people ask — can you actually feel the moment when life begins?
The short answer is no. Fertilisation happens on a microscopic level, deep inside the fallopian tube, where there are no nerves to sense it. But the body is sensitive and finely tuned — some people describe subtle changes they can’t quite explain.

When a sperm fertilises an egg, it usually happens about a day after ovulation. At that point, your body doesn’t yet “know” what has occurred, but the process has already started. The hormone progesterone rises after ovulation, bringing common symptoms such as fatigue, mild cramping, or a sense of warmth — whether or not fertilisation has taken place. That’s why it’s so easy to mistake normal hormonal changes for signs of conception.

Even if you can’t feel the exact moment, you might still sense that something is shifting. Some describe a deep calm; others, an unusual sensitivity. Perhaps it’s not fertilisation you feel — but the quiet awareness of being part of something larger.

The most important thing is not to overinterpret every sensation. Fertilisation happens in silence, beyond your control, and that’s how it’s meant to be.

Alma’s advice:

• Trust that your body knows what to do, even when you feel nothing at all.

• Let the days after ovulation be a time for stillness, not observation.

• You don’t need to feel for something to be happening — much of life begins unseen.

Fertilisation is nature’s rhythm at work. You carry it within you, even when everything feels quiet.
