30 minutes to 5 days or longer.

The fastest sperm can get to a fallopian tube is about 30 minutes, meaning that the quickest conception could occur following sex is in the half-hour range.

At the other end of the spectrum, strong, healthy sperm can survive for about 5 days (and perhaps even longer) in the supportive environment of the fallopian tubes as they wait for an egg to be released, if one isn't already present.

Implantation would occur 7 days after conception and since conception takes about 4-5 days you would start implantation bleeding 12-13 days after sex?

I am no expert, but from all that I have read over the past week on this very subject, I believe that it is actually 7 to 12 days after the actual fertilization of the egg (intercourse) that the egg starts implanting and you may or may not have bleeding, or spotting.
