Answer 2

Go to http://www.mymonthlycycles.com and put in your period info and it will calculate when you will be fertile and ovulating. It is a free site to join and it works!!

For trying to conceive tips go to http://www.justmommies.com

Sperm can live in a woman's body for up to six days — possibly seven. That's why most pregnancies result from fertilization by sperm that have been waiting in a woman's reproductive tract days before the release of her egg — ovulation — takes place.

Outside the body — where they're not being nourished and protected by a woman's cervical mucus and vaginal secretions, or the warmth and moisture of a man's urethra and reproductive tract — sperm die anywhere between a half an hour to four hours after being ejaculated. If the ejaculate has dried out, or has been wiped or washed off, there are no longer any living sperm to worry about.

Hope this information helps!

Answer 3

There is no set life of a sperm. They have different lifespans depending on their environment.
In an ideal moist climate, they can live up to 5 days. If you are dry, then it may cut their life short.
The best thing you can do is make sure that you have sex two days before you ovulate, or the day before. Don't try both days. It takes two days for your husband's sperm to build back up.
Best of luck.
