An egg lives for about 12-24 hours after you ovulate, and sperm can live for five to seven days. Ideally, you need a lot of sperm on stand-by to 'pounce' on that egg when it's released, so have sex in the days leading up to when you ovulate and a day after.
How long does the egg live for? As soon as the egg is released from the ovary, it has about 12 â 48 hours to live. If it is not fertilized by a sperm during this time, it dies and is eventually shed with the uterine lining. If youâre trying to get pregnant, you might be worried that 48 hours is not a very big window for intercourse. But there are actually about six days each month when intercourse can result in a pregnancy. This is because sperm can survive inside your body for up to five days when fertile cervical mucus present.
