A member asked:

Last period was 22 nov and have a 28 day cycle. had sex on 30 nov and fertile days were from 2-6 dec. could i be pregnant? how long does sperm last?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Sperm lasts up to 7d: Studies of sperm show viable sperm present for up to a week. But the closer to ovulation, the better are the chances of pregnancy. In general it takes a lot of the little buggers to get through the protective layers around the egg. (the numbers decrease fairly rapidly a few hours after sex.).
