How long does it take egg to reach uterus when its released from the ovary?

After an egg is released from the ovary during ovulation, it typically takes about 3 to 5 days to travel through the fallopian tube to reach the uterus. The journey is influenced by factors such as the woman's reproductive health and the presence of sperm for fertilization. If fertilization occurs, it usually happens within the first 24 hours after ovulation. Once fertilized, the egg will implant into the uterine lining a few days later.
