Here's how it works: Fertilization happens in one of the fallopian tubes, which carries an egg from an ovary to the uterus. It can take up to seven days after intercourse for sperm and egg to join and become a fertilized egg. Usually, it's because the sperm gets into the fallopian tube before the egg is released.
Here is more input an advice:
I would say at least a couple of hours, but it could take up to three days. Depending you your body and where the egg is in the cycle.
2 TO 3 DAYS
The sperm that will be able to fertilize the eggie will leave the cervix, at the most, 30 minutes. It does not take 3 days for the sperm to get to the fallopian tubes to ovulation. It can take minutes for at least some of the sperm to reach the fallopian tubes where they are stored waiting for the eggie to pop out if it hasn't already popped out.
As a general rule, less than three days.
It takes about two hours to make the entire journey to the egg; however, some sperm are Olympic swimmers and can reach the egg in a half an hour. I looked this up and this is the article that I found if you are interested in reading it. http://www.mjbovo.com/Contracept/NO_Contracep.htm#long
Well from what the Doctor told me when I got pregant, it can take anywhere from the moment it happened to 8 days after the moment. Sorry if that doesn't help any just what I was told.
I don't know the answer, but I will tell you what I do know. Sperm travels about 1/8 inch per minute. Sounds pretty slow until you realize Sperm is about 1/600 inch long. If you scale that up to "human" size that's about 4-5 miles / hour -- slow jogging speed. The penetration of the penis and location of the egg in the fallopian tubes is only two factors that will affect time. Not all sperm swim in the correct direction. Some "hang back" (don't know the right word) and may not move into the fallopian tubes for a 2 or 3 days. This is why you can have intercourse before ovulation and still get pregnant by sperm from a few days ago.
Sperm can last 3 to 5 days inside a woman. Every woman ovulates differently. People will tell you the average woman ovulate 14 days from the day you start your period
(Hope you are satisfied with my answer)How long does it take for sperm to travel to their destination?
I believe that it takes a couple days.How long does it take for sperm to travel to their destination?It doesn't take that long actually. Check out this website it's cool. http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/miracle/pro鈥?/a>
I think they can get there pretty quickly, but it can also take up to 3-5 days from sex for conception to happen. When my husband and I were trying to conceive, we figured out when my ovulation "normally" occurred. The next month, we started pumping up the baby making dancing 3 or 4 days ahead of ovulation day to see if it made a difference. It could be coincidence, but that was the month I conceived! lol. (Of course, we also had sex ON the day I was ovulating -- so it could have came from either.)How long does it take for sperm to travel to their destination?Sperm can fertilize and egg for 24-72 hours, It take 20 minutes for sperm from a 18 year old to reach the fallopian tube, and 2 1/2 days for a 72 year old mans, and the word is capataion (wearing away of the acrosomal enzyme, the little helmet on top)How long does it take for sperm to travel to their destination?
I'm no scientist but I'd say probably a week, because it takes two weeks for a fetus heart beat to start beating.
1 hour if there is no trafficHow long does it take for sperm to travel to their destination?
I am not sure, but sperm cells stay inside a woman's body a maximum of 3 days...
I think they recommend BD on the day of O just in case - contingency sperm!! - or in case you O later than you usually do.
Your most fertile day is the day BEFORE O so as long as you have sex at least every other day in your fertile window then you will have available sperm waiting for that egg to pop.
I think it's fascinating that the human reproductive system varies so much from person to person and that we don't really know as much about conception as you would think for such an advanced race.
You got an excellent, very in depth answer from rajesh so it seems it depends on the quality of the sperm itself and also of course the quality of the woman's cervical mucus - fertile eggwhite mucus being the optimum.
