No, the sperm are not viable that long.

Yes, she can. You actually are more fertile the few days leading up to ovulation. Sperm can live for 3-5 days so it is extremely possible.

When the conditions are right (the woman is in her fertile window) sperm can live up to 7 (plus or minus a day) days in the cervix/fallopian tubes. If the conditions are not right (with woman isn't fertile), then the sperm can only live a few hours.

It could be possible since sperm live 3 to 5 days in fertile conditions. I'm sure a few of them could live longer then that.

6 days may be pushing it, but sperm can remain alive and well and ready to go to work for at least afew days after being deposited in hopes of discovering a receptive egg. Not impossible.

It is certainly a possiblity. Some really tough sperm can survive up to 7 days.

From what I have been told the absolute longest sperm can live is 4 days, so I would say no...

its uncommon, but yes. Sperm can live for quite a while.
