We are trying for the first time and im just trying to understand the timing of it all. Like does it happen right away or take some days? Sorry if its a basic doubt, genuinely curious.
I tracked my cycle on an app, conception usually lines up with your fertile window not the exact day of sex. Implantation is roughly a week later. So the timeline can be several days, not one moment.
My doctor explained sperm can live up to about 5 days, and actual conception happens when the egg is fertilised around ovulation. Then it takes a few more days to implant. So pregnancy isnt instant, it can be days after.
I used to think it was immediate too. Actually it can take up to a week or so for everything to happen inside. So no point testing very early, the result wont show. Wait for the missed period.
Its not right after, yaar. Fertilisation depends on whether you are near ovulation, and implantation takes about 6 to 10 days more. Thats why a test only works after your missed period, not the next day.
