A member asked:
How long does it take for the sperm to fertilize the egg?
8 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Quickly: The actual fertilization is very quick, but the sperm may wander around for days before getting to the egg to fertilize it. Millions of sperm start the journey, only one (if any) usually gets to the final destination.
