A member asked:
How long do sperm live inside the vagina in the presence of an iud?
4 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Very short time: Often times the IUD itself creates a chemical or hormonal reaction inside the uterus which is immediately toxic to sperm. However, if a sperm gets through and fertilizes an egg, the IUD itself prevents the pregnancy (99% of the time) from implanting in the uterus.

About 2 days: Sperm can live in the cervical mucus glands for up to 2 days. The presence of an iud doesn't change this.
