A member asked:

How long can sperm live? if i had sex on 4/23 (day after 5 day period) and i have a regular 29-30 day cycle will it stay alive till ovulation?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Unlikely: But if you weren't having unprotected sex you wouldn't be worrying about an unwanted pregnancy or hiv/std infection. Don't you think it's time to be more responsible re: your health and your life?
