A member asked:
Is it true that fertilization can still happen 24 hours after the egg is released? what if the egg meet the sperm after 24 hours?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Maybe: Difficult question to answer because there's no way of knowing 'exactly' when the egg is released. Good evidence suggests that 10-12 hours is the limit for fertilization, although it 'may' extend as much as 24 hours.
