A member asked:
How long does the y chromosome (carrying a boy ) last in a womans body?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
The average longevity of a Y or X-bearing sperm in female genital tract is 3 days and maximal longevity is probably 5 days. Some websites indicate X-bearing sperms last longer than the Y-bearing sperms but I can't confirm that.
