A member asked:

How quickly can conception happen if your egg is already traveling from the ovary?

Dr. Gerard Honore answered

Specializes in Fertility Medicine

24 hours or less: After ovulation, which has occured for the egg 'already traveling from the ovary, ' conception must occur within 24 hours at the outside and probably more like 10-12 hours. An egg is not 'fertilizable' outside of that window.
