Approximately four days after fertilization, the zygote has about 100 cells and is called a blastocyst. When the blastocyst reaches the uterine lining, it floats for about two days and finally implants itself in the uterine wall around six days after fertilization. This signals the beginning of pregnancy.
Once healthy sperm has reached an egg then fertilization can immediately occur. It usually roughly takes 90 seconds for the sperm to reach the egg and can be found in the fallopian tubes within five minutes. So if a woman is ovulating then fertilization can begin immediately and a healthy zygote and begin to form in the womb of the mother.
