A member asked:

How long for the sperm to reach fallopian tube?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Minutes: The most motile sperm will arrive in minutes, but sperm can survive for up to five days waiting for an egg. This is important because the egg itself only has a fertilization window of 12-24 hours.
