A member asked:

Can fresh sperm get you pregnant rather than sperm that's been inside you for 1-3 days before ovulation?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

The sperm: that has been inside can make you pregnant faster than the fresh sperm because it take a day for the fresh sperm to find it's way to the fallopian tube. Otherwise they are the same.
