Question 1

can you pls tell me doc that for how long does a sperm remain alive in woman's body after having intercourse is it 7 days or more?

Question 2

been trying conceive & u had sex 2 days ago on my fertile days but i'm not ovulate yet. how long sperm alive inside of my uterus? can i still get preg

Accepted Answer

Sperm can stay alive: from 3-5 days inside the vaginal vault/ uterus.  The best method of conception is via ovulation charting, which uses the body's basal temperature rise that correlate with ovulation to predict when you will ovulate each month.  This method sidesteps the irregularity built into many women's menstrual cycle.  Then maximize the sperm contact with ovulation 3 days before and 3 days after.  Best of luck

Possible by unlikely: Sperm do not live long outside of the male body. In the female genital tract they can live for about 24 hours. Being in a cold environment makes it even less likely that a sperm survived.

There are millions of sperm in an ejaculate and only 1 is needed.
