A member asked:
Can conception happen the same day you have sex? and how long does it take for the sperm to reach the egg?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes, if...: Conception really only happens on the day of ovulation, but since sperm live 3-5 days in a woman's uterus/cervix, pregnancy can result from sex a few days before (but not after) ovulation. Good wishes.
