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.
Generally, a woman ovulates 11 to 21 days after the end of her last period or from 12 to 16 days before she expects her next period to begin. During ovulation, an egg is only available for fertilization for 12 to 24 hours. However, since sperm can live in the body for up to five days, it is possible to get pregnant right after ovulation. A missed period may signal a pregnancy.
