A ripe egg can live in the outer edge of a fallopian tube for 12-24 hours. If there are sperm in the womans cervix or if the couple has intercourse while an egg is alive in a fallopian tube, the sperm can travel up through the uterus and the fallopian tube and try to fertilize the egg.
Fertilisation is now complete. Sperm are able to survive for 2-3 days within the female's reproductive tract. The length of the time that a woman's egg can be fertilized by a man's sperm ranges from 12-24 hours.The fertilized egg then undergoes several divisions to form a structure called the zygote. It moves into the uterus within a period of 5-7 days and is then termed as embryo.perm are able to survive for 2-3 days within the female's reproductive tract.
