How long does it take a fertilize egg take to get the uterus?

3-5 days: Fertilization occurs in the tube and the fertilized egg then travels to the uterus where it implants in the lining.

Approximately: It takes approximately 3 days for any egg-fertilized or not- to reach the uterus from the fallopian tubes. It takes about 6-12 hours on average, sometimes up to 24 hours for the egg to get from the ovary to the fallopian tubes.
