Implantation typically occurs about 6 to 10 days after conception (fertilization), with the most common timeframe being around 8 to 10 days post-ovulation. The fertilized egg, which becomes a blastocyst, travels down the fallopian tube and attaches to the uterine lining during this period
. More specifically:
- Implantation can happen as early as 6 days and as late as 12 days after ovulation or fertilization
- Most successful pregnancies see implantation between 8 and 10 days after ovulation, with implantation beyond day 10 associated with a higher risk of early pregnancy loss
- The process of implantation itself takes several days as the blastocyst embeds deeper into the uterine lining
In summary, implantation generally occurs about one week after conception, within a window of roughly 6 to 12 days, most commonly around day 8 to 10 post-ovulation.
