how long normally the sperm can be active and my period only take 5 days?

Question

can i get pregnant..?

Answer 1

Here's how it works: Fertilization happens in one of the fallopian tubes, which carries an egg from an ovary to the uterus. It can take up to seven days after intercourse for sperm and egg to join and become a fertilized egg. Usually, it's because the sperm gets into the fallopian tube before the egg is released.

The ovum can only be fertilized for about 18- 24 hours after it is released, so sperm must be present in the fallopian tubes around the time of ovulation. Sperm can usually survive for around 3 - 5 days in the woman's reproductive tract. Fertilization is therefore unlikely unless sexual intercourse occurs up to and during ovulation.

During intercourse, millions of sperm are released into the vagina. As ovulation approaches, the cervical mucus becomes watery allowing the sperm to swim up the vagina through the cervix.

Only about 2,000 sperm will be strong enough to reach the uterus and the fallopian tube. In order for fertilization to occur, one of these sperm must attach itself to the ovum and penetrate its outer surface. The fertilized ovum will then continue travelling down the fallopian tube, taking several days until it reaches the uterus. When it arrives, it attaches itself to the lining of the uterus and continues to grow.

Answer 2

The egg comes down once a month to be impregnated (on about the 14th day usually) and lives for 24 hours. Sperm lives for 3 days so on either side of that day you could get pregnant within a 6 day frame work.

Answer 3

i'm not quite sure what the question is but sperm can remain active in the vagina and uterus about 72 hours after intercourse.
