The egg meets the sperm and becomes fertilized in the fallopian tubes, which are located on either side of the uterus. After ovulation, the egg is released from the ovary and travels down the fallopian tube towards the uterus. If sperm are present in the fallopian tube, they may fertilize the egg, resulting in the formation of a zygote. The zygote will then continue to travel down the fallopian tube towards the uterus, where it may implant and develop into a fetus.
