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.
After ovulation, the egg lives for about 12-24 hours. Fertilization can take place only during this time period, but the sperm needs at least 9-12 hours inside the woman's body to get ready. That means, your chances getting pregnant are minimal if you make love more than 12 hours after ovulation. To improve your chances getting pregnant, you should have sex during the 1-2 days before ovulation.
