Generally speaking, male sperm can reach the female's bilateral fallopian tubes within 1-2 days after intercourse, and tightly combine with the female's discharged egg cells in the bilateral fallopian tubes to produce sperm-egg fusion. The combination of sperm and egg is promoted by the microvilli in the fallopian tubes on both sides, and it will take about 6-7 days to reach the uterus. If the conditions are met, the embryo can implant on the uterine wall. Embryo implantation is a sign that a woman is pregnant. Therefore, it takes at least 6 or 7 days from fertilization to pregnancy.

Diseases, medicines and other factors can also affect the normal menstrual cycle, so women who take birth control pills for a long time or suffer from polycystic ovary syndrome often have delayed menstruation.
