When does the egg get fertilized in pregnancy?

Question

I'm trying to understand the process of conception better. When exactly does the egg typically get fertilized after intercourse, in terms of timing?

Kadambari Rawal · Answer

Usually within 24 hours of ovulation, but in my case, two eggs got fertilized at once! So double the drama and double the diapers. Keep track of your peak days if you're trying.

It usually happens within a day of ovulation, which is when the spark of life begins. Just stay positive, eat well, and trust the divine process to take care of everything.

Actually yaar, fertilization happens within 12-24 hours after the egg is released. But since sperm can live inside for up to 5 days, the timing can feel a bit tricky to calculate!

Sharada Oberoi · Answer

Fertilization usually happens within 12 to 24 hours after you ovulate. It's a very short window!

Oh, this is interesting! I'm in my 5th month now and still get confused about these dates. Does fertilization happen on the exact day of intercourse, or can it happen a few days later?
