Implantation typically occurs between 6 and 12 days after ovulation, with the most common timing around 8 to 10 days post-ovulation. This is when the fertilized egg attaches to the lining of the uterus to begin pregnancy
. Key points:
- The fertilized egg travels down the fallopian tube and implants in the uterine lining usually 6 to 10 days after ovulation
- Studies show that most successful implantations happen between 8 and 10 days after ovulation, with some variation from 6 to 12 days
- The exact timing can vary depending on individual menstrual cycles and when fertilization occurs relative to ovulation
- Implantation is critical for pregnancy success; delayed implantation beyond 10 days may increase the risk of early pregnancy loss
In summary, implantation occurs roughly 6 to 12 days after ovulation, most commonly around days 8 to 10.
