Sperm can reach the egg in as little as a few minutes (about 30 minutes to a few hours after ejaculation).

However, actual fertilization usually happens within 12 to 24 hours after ovulation, if an egg is present in the fallopian tube.

Sperm can survive inside the female reproductive tract for up to 5 days, waiting for an egg to be released.
