for the sperm to meet the egg? I ovulated yesterday and my husband and I did our jobs. Just kind of curious on how long it take for the 2 to meet and join?

Sperm can live in a woman's body for up to six days — possibly seven. That's why most pregnancies result from fertilization by sperm that have been waiting in a woman's reproductive tract days before the release of her egg — ovulation — takes place.
Outside the body — where they're not being nourished and protected by a woman's cervical mucus and vaginal secretions, or the warmth and moisture of a man's urethra and reproductive tract — sperm die anywhere between a half an hour to four hours after being ejaculated. If the ejaculate has dried out, or has been wiped or washed off, there are no longer any living sperm to worry about.
Hope this information helps!

It can take up to 5 days for implantation. Relax and take a pregnancy test in 7 to 10 days.
Best wishes!

it takes on average six hours so its best to bonk before you ovulate so the sperm are waiting good luck.
