Question 1

how long does sperm last in the vagina? i hear 3-5 4-5 5-7. what is the correct answer!?

Accepted Answer

Sperm: Sperm in the vagina don't live more than minutes, the ph is too acidic for them. Sperm in the cervix/cervical crypts on the other hand live at least 48-72 hours, some reports do suggest up to 5 days.

Question 2

if a woman is sixty years old how long does the sperm last in the vagina?

Accepted Answer

Speculation: Likely not long at all. She would be menopausal ; thus not produce mucosal secretions allowing sperm to survive. However, there are no known scientific or research reports which could address this question, hence 'speculation'. 60-year-old women can not concieve although can get pregnant by ivf.

Question 3

how long does sperm last active inside the vagina?

Accepted Answer

Very short: The vagina is very acidic and is quite hostile to sperm. Sperm has to travel into the cervical mucus for survival. Without cervical mucus the sperm will die rapidly.

Question 4

can sperm last inside a vagina more than 3 days?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Sperm generally survive in the female reproductive tract for an average of 3-4 days around mid-cycle but are known to last as long as 10 days.  Hope this helps.

Question 5

i masterbated last night and have remained some sperms inside my underwear. the next morning my girlfriend came and i have got fingured her vagina. and she has touched my dick. is there chance of pregnancy?

Accepted Answer

: Pregnancy is not likely in above circumstances if no intercourse took place. Always use contraception if intercourse becomes possible and pregnancy is not desired and in order to avoid related anxiety.

Question 6

me and my boyfriend took a shower together when his sperms fell near my vagina. and its been 40 days since my last period,i'm a virgin,am i pregnant ?

Accepted Answer

Take HPT and ...: Although the described scenario poses an almost next-to-zero possibility to conceive, still take home pregnancy test (HPT) if clinical symptoms suggests pregnancy or being still in doubt. Of course, seeing Doc timely is the surest measure to take. Best wish ...

Question 7

can i be pregnant if one drop of sperm fly away from the ejaculation and came on my vagina lips on 13/8 knowing that i am virgin..last period on 25/8?

Accepted Answer

No: Sounds like you had your period a full 12 days AFTER the encounter - correct?

So no, in your case you're not pregnant.

But yes, technically one drop can do it. Plenty of stories of 'virgins' getting pregnant without any real intercourse.

Question 8

can sperm on the lips of the vagina drip inside and cause pregnancy even after washing the vagina immediately? yesterday was the last day of my period

Accepted Answer

Highly unlikely: Pregnancy would be highly unlikely with the scenario that you just described, but if there was any vaginal penetration that preceded the ejaculation then that increases the chances that pregnancy could occur.

Question 9

she touched my sperm and wiped it with tissue.after 20-30mins, she touched inside of vagina due to a bit  bleeding(i fingered her earlier).bleeding last 2-3 days.now her period is 4 day late and has white vaginal discharge.pls tell me possibilities?

Accepted Answer

: It is unlikely that you are pregnant unless you had a penetrating intercourse.
You very likely have infection of your vagine(Vaginitis).
You should first get treated for Vaginitis. It is best to see your doctor, if that is difficult, you should get hold of a medicine called Clotrimazole troches which will likely clear your infection. Pregnancy test may be useful too.

Question 10

in my last period day, blood had a light brown colour, a drop of sperm touched my vagina lip. is pregnancy possible when after 2 weeks my period came?

Accepted Answer

Take the test: If you want to know if you are pregnant, take a test. In today's world you do not need to wonder if you are pregnant or not based on symptoms. Pregnancy tests are available at any pharmacy and in minutes you will have your answer. They can detect a pregnancy 7-10 days after conception. The best time to take one is when you miss your period.
