A member asked:
For how long does sperms stay in the uterus before they fertilise egg?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends: Sperm can reach egg already in fallopian tube in 30 - 60 minutes. However sperm can survive a few days in the fallopian tube until an ovum (egg) enters the tube ; before they both meet. Thus sperm usually stays in uterus less than an hour because fallopian tubes are technically no longer part of the uterus.
