A member asked:

How long does it take for an embryo to implant after sex and fertilization?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

7 to 10 days.: It takes about 7 to 10 days for the fertilized egg to travel down the tube and implant in the uterus. You might see implantation bleeding as early as 4 to 7 days before a missed period.
