If you are asking "how long does it take for the sperm to fertilize the egg once it penetrates the egg wall?", it is instantaneous. That's what "fertilized" means. If you are asking "how long does it take the sperm to fertilize the egg once it enters the female body?", there is no exact answer. it could take from a few minutes to a few days.

∙ 14y agoUp to five days. But. it takes at least two weeks after implantation for a test to come out positive. So, it could be as much as three to four weeks before a test would show positive. Remember to hump when having sex!!!

∙ 14y agoMost sperm survive in the female reproductive tract no more then 24 hours but some can remain fertile for as long as 5 days. So the longest time I would say is 5 days if you were ovulating and the sperm actually found their way to the ovum (female egg). Typically less then 200 of the 40-250 million sperm that are ejaculated during intercourse actually make it to the ovum. Also the sperm themselves are actually suspended in a fluid called seminal fluid which nourishes and protects them from the acidic environment of the vagina. This fluid coagulates (turns to a gel) slightly and are relatively immobile for approximately 15-30 minutes until other seminal enzymes are able to dissolve the now gelled fluid and allow the sperm to make there way to the cervix and then to the fallopian tube that is carrying the ovum. So based on this I would say as soon as 30-60 minutes.

∙ 9y agoSperm can survive for up to a week within the female body leading up to ovulation. Fertile cervical mucus protects sperm from the acidic pH of the vagina and help it to swim up through the cervix so it can get to the fallopian tubes. In the fallopian tubes sperm can hibernate to conserve energy so that once ovulation occurs they have the strength to swim to and fertilize the egg.

Depending on conditions in the vagina I suppose up to 72 hours is viable waiting time for sperm.

For owls, their reproductive organs are neatly and internally tucked away.

They have a tidy way of marrying.

It varies among species of ducks. Some female species can store sperm for a week or less, while others can store sperm for 100 days or more. For those ducks storing for a week or less, pairs often continue to mate throughout follicle development. This ensures the female has sperm available to fertilize the eggs as they leave the ovaries and have viable eggs.
