Dr. Victor Beshay answered

Specializes in Fertility Medicine

Possible: Sperm can live for 48-72 hours in the female genital tract and can fertilize an egg if ovulation happens. There are even some reports of sperm living as long as 5 days. It is possible then to get pregnant. However, if your goal is pregnancy having intercourse at the time of ovulation would be best.
