Sperm : Sperm can stay alive in the vagina, uterus and fallopian tubes for up to 3 days. If you ovulate within three days of having sex, then you can become pregnant.

48 to 72 hours: In general, sperm can live up to 5 days in the female genital tract. However, the most motile ones (swimmers) are already inside the uterus & Fallopian tubes seeking a viable "connection" within 4 hours and can live 48 to 72 hours.
