If you’ve sex prior to ovulating, whats the longest a sperm will live? Is there the same chance of getting pregnant as when you have sex on the day you ovulate? Thanks for reading! Baby dust to all 
Answer:
It varies depending on the environment and the condition of the sperm. Typically, though, sperm should easily be able to live inside a woman for 2-3 days. In optimal conditions, though, sperm might be able to live as long as 6-7 days. It's hard to pinpoint exactly the moment of ovulation and after the egg leaves the ovary, there’s only about 12-24 hours where the egg will remain viable. So, having sex on the day you ovulate may or might not work out. If the egg releases in the morning and you don't have sex until evening than the window of opportunity may be past. Having sex a day or two before ovulation tends to work better since the sperm are ready and waiting when the egg comes down the fallopian tube. It's a tight timing act and even if the sperm does manage to penetrate the egg there are a variety of problems in the fertilization process that can cause the attempt to fail. Statistically, only about 20-25% of the time does a viable pregnancy result when both egg and sperm are present.
Answer:
The maximum is usually five days, and only if you have optimal cervical mucus, which is eggwhite or watery. Sperm last longer in that fluid, which peaks shortly before ovulation. If you have recently menstruated, or are due to again soon, sperm probably won't last more than a day or two, if they make it past the hostile cervial fluid you have the rest of the month.
Here is more input and advice:
It is a fact that sperm can live up to 4-5 days in your body, contrary to anything else you might have heard or read. In addition to this fact, the egg released can live between 12-24 hours. Therefore, your fertile period starts approximately 4-5 days PRIOR to ovulation and ends 12-24 hours after ovulation. If you do the math, it is possible for some woman to be fertile for as many as 7 days. You may have heard you can only get pregnant one or two days a month…SO NOT TRUE!!! You may only ovulate that long, but with the life of sperm and the life of the egg, your fertile time can be much longer. .
Depends on when she is ovulating. If there’s a lot of mucus (usually a lot more when she IS ovulating), it can last up to 5 days. If not, usually about a day or two.
Best of Luck!!
Answer:
If you have very good ewcm it can last a long time. I watched a video about a pregnant woman who was in the hospital delivering and when the doctor examined her he asked how long ago she had sex as he looked at her cm with a microscope and saw live sperm. The last time they’d made love was 11 days before! You need the good mucus so they can live in it, if you’re dry, they’ll dry up and die.
Answer:
I read that some can stay in 3-5 days. But it all depends on the temp. and fluid.
