My question is: How long can sperm survive inside the female body? We are ttc and I think I'm ovulating today. We had sex 3 days ago, but my husband is sick with the flu and unable to bd right now. Is it possible to become pregnant with sperm from 3 days ago? If we are able to bd tomorrow will the egg still be good??

I forgot to mention that I have been having a fair amount of creamy discharge for the past 3 days, does that help the sperm?? Thanks to all who respond!

Sperm lives for 72 hours. If you can, get him into the bedroom if today is the right day and then make him a cup of soup after your finished for trying.

Thanks for responding! I was unable to get him to bd. Poor guy, he's still not feeling well! If this was meant to be our month then I guess a few little swimmers will have survived long enough to reach that egg. If not, I guess we'll be bd-ing like crazy next month.

Hi Cherry, sperm is suppose to live up to 72 hrs, so having sex 3 days before ovulation is ok but you really increase your chances having sex the day of ovulation. The egg usually on lives for 12 hrs. Good luck, I hope dh is feeling better soon.

Cherry, the same thing happened with my hubby and I this month. He was sick from 10/2 till 10/5....which was my fertile/ovulation time. We bd on 10/1 and then again on 10/4 and 10/5 (10/5 being my O day). My hubby was so sick, but he gave in b/c we have been ttc for 10 mos now. I HOPE we did it this month! Best of Luck to you!!!
