what is the travel time of an egg?
How long does it take for an egg to travel from the ovary to the uterus?
Very simply put? The egg, fertilized or not, will travel from the ovary to the uterus in about five days.
The egg is released from the ovary and travels to the fallopian tube, where fertilization may or may not occur. Tiny waving hairlike "cilia" propel the egg down the fallopian tube.
The egg must be fertilized and viable (normal, capable of growing, free from flaws), and the uterine lining must also be viable, for the egg to implant.
Reply:A day or two after her period stops, eggs in her ovaries start to ripen. The influence of increasing hormones causes the egg that is most ripe to be released about 14 days before her next period begins. The ripened egg then travels down the fallopian tube toward the uterus.
Hope that helps
