up to 5 days.......This is my standard answer......... go get a book called Taking Charge of your fertility by Toni Weschler
This book will help you with all of your menstrual and conception questions. It’s for all women - not just women trying to conceive. It covers everything from temperature to mucus checking, etc.. It will help you understand your body and all the myths about it. It will help you time when you are ovulating and the best times to conceive – or not! It tells you how to figure out your cycle and what to expect. My husband and I tried for a year to conceive and nothing happened. The first month I used the book we conceived right away. Now I am due Feb 2. It's about knowing your body and knowing when you are fertile or not. You can pick and choose what you do with your info. Good luck and don't listen the all the myths

Conception can occur most anytime during a woman's cycle, as long as the released egg has left the ovary and is on its way through the Fallopian tubes to the uterus. Once an egg has reached the uterus and has not been fertilized by a sperm, it will be flushed from the body with the onset of the next menstrual period. Fertilization is most likely to take place up to five days before and five days after the release of the egg. Sperm can live within a woman's body up to five days. Optimal time of fertilization is right around the time of ovulation (release of the egg). Since it is hard to perfectly judge exactly when ovulation occurs, it is best to be protected at all times. The only 100% method is, of course, abstinence.
There can be some sperm present in a male's pre-ejaculatory fluid. If it comes into contact with a woman's vagina, some of the sperm can start their journey to reach the egg. Please contact your physician or public health department family planning program immediately to learn if Emergency Contraception (ECP) is still an option for you. It can be effective up to five days after unprotected sex. If you do not have a physician, please check your Government White Pages in your phone book for the clinic nearest you.

I've heard 3 days, I've heard 5 days and I have heard 7 days. I think 3 days is probably right because the Morning After Pill is for 3 days and surely they'd make it for 7 days if there was a real risk for 7 days?
