A member asked:
How long does sperm have to stay in the vagina for it to be able to fertilize an egg, i have been trying for 3 months now?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Only a few minutes.: If the egg is there it does not take long to fertilize. Sperm can live in the female genital tract for about 5 days. The egg on the other hand lives for about 24 hours. You should have sex about every 2-3 days during your fertile times. http://yourfertility.org.au
