Sperm only live up to a maximum of three days. But they also have to REACH the egg which they can do within an hour. Therefore fertilisation could happen in one hour after sex, or if you had sex yesterday, the sperm could be lying in wait for the egg to come to them!

How soon after iui will conception happen?

After an intrauterine insemination (IUI) procedure, conception can occur relatively quickly, typically within 24 to 48 hours if sperm meets an egg during that time. However, fertilization may take longer depending on individual factors like ovulation timing and sperm viability. Once fertilization occurs, it takes about 6 to 10 days for the fertilized egg to implant in the uterus. Therefore, while conception can happen shortly after IUI, it may take a week or more for pregnancy to be confirmed through testing.
