How long does it take for the egg to travel through the fallopian tubes?

Hi! I was wondering if anyone can tell me how long it takes for the egg to go through the fallopian tube into the uterus? I have two books, the fist one "Mother of all pregnancy books" says 80 hours which works out to 3.3 days and the other "Getting pregnant" say 5 to 6 days. I was just wondering what other people have to say.

Thank you!

Answer:
Three to four days.
The time depends only on the egg, sperm have nothing to do with how fast the egg will travel. The egg is propelled along by cilia in the fallopian tubes. It then takes two days after reaching the uterus to implant. It is implanted by day 7.
This is after conception times, but conception must occur as the egg is released, or it will not have time to complete all these steps prior to being shed.
I would say anything between 3-7 days depending on the sperm ( boy or girl..boy is faster) and the women. Both are right .
