When a woman ovulates, the egg goes down her fallopian tubes. If there is a sperm waiting, it can penetrate the cell membrane and fertilize the egg. The fertilized egg can go through the tubes to implant in her uterus which will make her pregnant. The egg exists as a separate entity between the time when it leaves her ovary and the time when it is at the place where it can become fertilized. It then and goes a week between the time when it is fertilized and it implants. The morning after pill prevents it from implanting.
