It takes 1-3 days for a egg to get fertilized and then it's called a zygote. It then takes 3-5 days until the zygote enters the uterus. In the uterus, the cells continue to divide and becomes blastocyst which attaches to the lining of the uterus. This is called implantation and is completed by day 9-10. The next step it's a embryo.

ViviAn egg is considered an embryo once fertilization occurs, meaning the egg has been penetrated by a sperm cell and the process of cell division has begun. At this point, the genetic material of both the egg and sperm have combined to form a zygote, marking the beginning of embryonic development.
