A member asked:
Can sperm live in the body for 5 days with skyla? i had unprotected sex 5 days before iud removed & bled steadily for 6 days 2 days after removal
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Possible: Sperm can remain viable (alive) for 5 days, irrespective of a Skyla IUD. However, the presence of blood interferes with sperms capability to fertilize an egg, i.e., makes it near impossible.
