Report Abuse. An egg lives for around 12 hours after ovulation. Sperm can live for about five days inside the uterus, so providing those two time frames collide, it can be pretty soon after sex. Hours, usually. Implantation occurs between 6 - 12 days.
Sperm can live up to 72 hours once ejaculated. Sometimes the egg is found within 45 minutes for fertilization, while sometimes it can take as long as 12 hours. If the egg isn't yet released from the ovary, it is thought that the sperm can go into a holding pattern for about 24-48 hours while awaiting release of the egg.ometimes the egg is found within 45 minutes for fertilization, while sometimes it can take as long as 12 hours.
