A member asked:
How long does it take for sperm to fertilize an egg and get you pregnant after intercourse?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends: First sex must be around the time of ovulation when the egg is released. Then the sperm travels into the tube. About 4-6 days later if the egg is fertilized the embryo reaches the uterus and implants and then about 7-10 days later it can be detected in the blood.
