In general, we know having unprotected physical intimacy leads to a pregnancy. As a couple willing to become parents of a child, you are eager to know how soon you have a conception after having an intercourse. Multiple variables are there to play in the occurrence of a conception. So, it is hard to say the exact time for having a pregnancy. It is a range. And as a female, you are very curious to know:

• Can you get pregnant within a few minutes after sex?

• Will you take a few days to see the signs of pregnancy?

• Will you not get pregnant at all?

Before knowing anything, you need to know how a pregnancy occurs. According to experts at an IVF centre in Delhi, pregnancy happens when you have physical intimacy without any protection before a day or on the day of ovulation and your egg meets with your male partner’s sperm in one of your fallopian tubes. You notice pregnancy symptoms when the fertilised egg is set in the uterus and there is a lining on your uterus wall.

Timing of conception after unprotected physical intimacy

After physical intimacy, sperm takes 2-10 minutes to reach the fallopian tubes from the cervix to meet the egg. And sperm can survive for 4-5 days in a female’s body. After the meeting, there is egg fertilisation and embryo development. An embryo stays 4-6 days in one of the fallopian tubes before moving to the uterus.

It means a pregnancy takes at least 15 days to happen after unprotected sex on or before a day of ovulation.
