The fertilized egg typically implants in the uterine lining between approximately 5 and 7 days after fertilization. Following the union of sperm and egg to form a fertilized egg, the embryo begins developing while traveling through the fallopian tube toward the uterus; implantation usually occurs around day 5 to day 7. After reaching the fallopian tube, sperm generally retain their fertilizing capacity for about three days.
