A member asked:

If your egg was traveling down the fallopian tube or had just reached your uterus and you had sex that day. can you conceive that same day?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

"Tunnel of love": The fallopian tube is the conception site for fertilization of eggs by the migrating sperm. Once the egg reaches the intra-uterine cavity unfertilized, it is exceedingly more difficult to get pregnant.
