When did the formen ovale change to fossa ovalis?

From the Wikipedia entry for "Foramen ovale (heart)": Normally this opening closes in the first year of life. When the lungs become functional at birth, the pulmonary pressure decreases and the left atrial pressure exceeds that of the right. This forces the septum primum against the septum secundum, functionally closing the foramen ovale. In time the septa eventually fuse, leaving a remnant of the foramen ovale, the fossa ovalis. In other word, it "changes" for each person shortly after that person's birth.
