Best Answer:

Apparently the 'Olympic contenders' can get there in about 20 minutes (if the egg is there waiting for them) but in most cases it will take several hours. However, as sperm can live for 3 days, often 5 days, and sometimes even 7 days inside a fertile environment, your fertile window can be a week from BD to conception.
