How Many Hrs Does It Take An Egg to Drop! Posted: 03-12-07 18:03pm
I hope it does not take as little as 30
min for my egg to drop. I hope it takes
6-12 hours? So how many hour does it take?

What do you mean "drop"??? Your egg breaks
out of the follicle and travels from your
ovary down to your fallopian tube. If a
sperm reaches it and penetrates it,
together they will make their way down
further, evntually embedding itself into
your uterus - thus getting a nice bfp
telling you you are pregnant!!!!!
It takes (on average for a normal cycle
woman) 14 days from the start of your
period for this new egg to go through it's
cycle and be ready for fertilization.
Hope this helps?!!!

meaning how many hours it takes to fall
and not be fertilized because of sperms
being to slow? What rate of speed does the
egg crawl down?

im pretty sure theres no way to answer
that question, if it's meant to happen
this time it will, why do you think
they're too "slow"?

Rene - I'm pretty sure that this can't be
measured in hours. The process or cycle
takes on average 28 days. By the time you
ovulate (meaning egg is in it's prime and
ready to be fertilized) Ovulation is only
one day - however, there is approx a 5 day
window in which it is best to try and
conceive - 3 days before day of ovulation,
the day of ovulation and even the day
after you ovulate, just in case ovulation
was a day late. Beyond a day or two PAST
your ovulation day, it is now too late for
the egg to become fertilized and it dies
and starts to dissintegrate, therfore
resulting in your period about 14 days
later (for an average cycle woman). Sperm
being too slow??? HUH? If it can swim, it
can make it...trust me. Sperm usually only
live about 24-72 hours tops, so if it
doesn't reach the egg by then, then there
are no sperm until you bd again.
Hope this all makes sense to you. If not,
perhaps your Doctor could explain it
better than me!!!!!!

I think what she's asking is, from the
time your ovary releases the egg, how long
until your body reabsorbs it if it isn't
fertilized.
I think an egg is viable for about 36
hours. I'm probably wrong. But a day or
two, roughly. That's why I always advise
women to start having sex a day or two
before they ovulate, and
every day (or every other, if your man has
a low sperm count) until your fertile
window is closed. This guarantees that
there will be lots of fresh sperm in your
body at all times, and gives you a higher
chance of having the little swimmers in
position when your egg is descending.

Ahh, yes, maybe that's what she is
asking....I was a bit confused!!!! 36
hours seems about right...but I'm not a
100% sure either. I think you have a good
chance if you bd the day of ovulation
(obviously before hand is great too!!!!)
and the day after O as well - just to
catch that egg, so to speak!!!
I think she'll understand after this!!!!!
