9. What is the soonest implantation can take place?

3 days past ovulation

1 day past ovulation

Five to six days past ovulation

Once the sperm enters the egg, conception has then taken place. The process is the called cell dividing, where the sperm and egg then form into a cluster of cells, first a zygote, then to a blastocyst. Usually by day five or six the now fertilized egg is called an embryo/blastocyst. During this time traveling down the fallopian tubes, and into the endometrium, then implanting around day six for the earliest.
