A member asked:

Could you tell me what is the minimum time after intercourse that a female can expect or conceive?

A doctor has provided 1 answer
Dr. Erinn Huffman answered

Specializes in Obstetrics & Gynecology

Depends: Conception happens when the sperm and egg combine. The timing after intercourse will depend on the timing of ovulation. You only ovulate once a month, so it would depend on when you have sex in relation to the ovulation.
