A member asked:
I had unprotected sex before the day my egg was released, what is the sperm doing if it was waiting for the egg till the next day that it was released?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Swimming for the egg: It is amazing how our bodies are set up to make a pregnancy. The cervix has crypts that maintain and nourish sperm for 3 days. It is possible for the sperm to "hang out" and continually be released and possibly make you pregnant a day or two after sex (waiting for you to ovulate for instance).
