how long after you ovulate does the egg live
The egg is fertilized by the sperms within 24 hours. The fertilized egg travels down the tube, sits around in there for about 3 days then heads to the uterus floating around looking for a nice cushion, finds it, and implants about five days after it heads out of the tubes.ou ovulate once a month and the egg stays viable for 12-24 hours. If your trying to get pregnant, having sex before you ovulate makes conceiving more likely. Emily Â· 7 years ago. Thumbs up.
