How long does implantation take? Starting from ovulation, fertilization takes place within 24 hours, this is the beginning of conception. After the egg (ovum) is fertilized, it travels down the fallopian tube and enters the uterus about 5 to 7 days later. Once there, it still takes about 1 to 3 days before it implants.
That is why you can take the morning after pill up to three days after having sex. Before fertilization can occur, the sperm must reach the egg. Each egg is only viable for 12 to 48 hours and some sperm can survive for as long as 72 hours, but most can only retain their fertilizing power for 12 to 48 hours.
