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.
Report Abuse. it can take up to 72 hours. what do u mean an egg will die after 24 hours? u ovulate for a few days honey-not just 24 hours. so as long as the sperm reaches the egg when you are ovulating u can get pregnant.ut, sperm can live for a few days in you, so they sit and wait for the egg. They can wait for up to 3 days. Once you ovulate however, the sperm go in search of the egg (again, only takes an hour or so). And contrary to what others said, the egg is only good for 6-24 hours. So, it's good the sperm work so fast! :).
