Fertilization most often occurs in the oviduct, also known as the fallopian tube. Sperm can survive in the female reproductive tract for up to five days, but the egg only survives for up to 24 hours after ovulation, so the timing of intercourse is critical. The oviduct provides the ideal environment for fertilization to occur.
