A member asked:
After conception how long does it take for the egg to become fertilized and does that process cause cramping& spotting?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Varies: After ovulation the egg can be fertilize over a 12 to 24 hour time period. Once the egg fertilizes it travels for 7 to 9 days through the fallopian tube before implanting into the uterus. The implantation process usually does not cause spotting but occasionally very small amount may occur.
