A member asked:

Is it true you can only get pregnant three days out of the month?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

3to5days: A woman's egg is viable for about one day but a sperm can survive in the woman's body 3to5 days so that pregnancy can possibly occur if you ovulate up to 5 days after unprotected intercourse.
