How long after intercourse does fertilization occur?

In order to have a healthier baby, many couples now start their pregnancy preparation plan very early and exercise regularly in order to strengthen their physical fitness and improve the quality of sperm and eggs so that the baby born from their combination can be healthier. However, many couples do not know how long it takes for fertilization to occur after having sex because they do not have enough knowledge about pregnancy.

First of all, it should be noted that if you want to successfully fertilize, you must have sexual intercourse during the woman's ovulation period, and it is best to calculate the day when the woman ovulates. In this way, the possibility of pregnancy after having sexual intercourse can reach 80%.

There are four necessary conditions for fertilization:

1. The man can produce healthy and active sperm, which can be discharged into the woman's vagina.

2. After entering the vagina, the sperm can maintain its motility and pass through the cervix and uterine cavity to reach the fallopian tube and combine with the egg.

3. The woman can discharge healthy eggs, which can enter the fallopian tube and get the chance to meet the sperm.

4. The fertilized egg must reach the uterine cavity in time, and the environment of the uterine cavity must be suitable for the growth of the fertilized egg. The purpose of contraception can be achieved by artificially suppressing ovulation, preventing the combination of egg and sperm, or preventing the fertilized egg from implanting in the uterus and growing.

How long after intercourse does fertilization occur?

Under normal circumstances, it takes 6-8 days for the fertilized egg to implant. If you have sex during the ovulation period, you can go to the hospital for a blood test and B-ultrasound examination about 7 days after your period to determine whether you are pregnant most accurately. You can also have a blood test after the fertilized egg implants to confirm it. In addition, you can also use early pregnancy test strips to detect pregnancy.

After having sex during the ovulation period, the sperm and egg combine. Generally, if you do not have your period within 14 days after ovulation, you are pregnant.

Now that you know how long it takes for fertilization after intercourse, if you have intercourse during your ovulation period and your period is delayed, please be sure to test whether you are pregnant in time. Generally, when your period is delayed by one week, you can use an early pregnancy test to test whether you are pregnant. Once you are pregnant, please be sure to protect your body.
