A 24-year-old female asked about a female:

Edd is 11/12 based on early ultrasounds & lmp. possible i conceived on 2/7/13? how long is sperm viable in a woman?

3-7 days: The length of time that sperm can remain viable in the female ranged from 3-7 days so, if the ultrasound dating suggest you conceived around 2/14 and we admit a possible variation of + or - 4-5 days, then sperm introduced 2/7 might have been able to cause the conception. Were there any other candidates?
