Accepted Answer

Not fertilized?: An unfertilized egg, from my understanding, will last only for approximately 12-24 hours in a blocked fallopian tube before it decomposes. If the egg is fertilized, it may implant in the fallopian tube and create an ectopic pregnancy which is not sustainable for the mother or fetus and must be removed surgically.

Question 5

Accepted Answer

Fallopian tubes: Fallopian tubes are paired tubular structures, right and left, that connect the uterus to the pelvic cavity.

If the woman had intercourse sperm swims through the uterus into the tube at the near end, when conception occurs it is in the mid-portion of the tube.
