A member asked:

How long does sperm usually stay inside a women's body after sex? yes i'm trying to get pregnant

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Depends on location: Sperm that stay in the vagina will die off rather quickly (within hours) because the vagina is an acidic environment. Sperm that manage to make it past the cervix and up into the uterus and tubes can live 2-3 days.
