How long can sperm survive during a menstrual period? heavy bleeding
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Always the same: Sperm can survive for anywhere from 3-5 days in the proper, warm environment, but if one is menstruating, there should be no worries as one would not be ovulating any time near the possibility of getting pregnant from the sperm inside a menstruating vagina.
