However, the average sperm will live just 3-4 days even after making it to the fallopian tubes. Only the heartiest of sperm will get a chance at fertilizing the egg. While a spermâs lifespan lasts several days, a womanâs egg is only viable for one day after it is released.
To sum it up: sperm can live up to roughly 5 days and the ovary (egg) can live up to one day (usually between 12 hours and 24 hours) and you can get pregnant anytime from about five days prior to ovulation to even occasionally two days after, for a total of about a week.
