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.
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. In general, if conception is going to happen in any given cycle, it will probably be within the first few hours after intercourse.
