how many days sperm can live in the female ?

Answer 1

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 2

Sperm Living in Your Body
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 may have heard or read. In addition to this fact, the egg released can live between 24-48 hours. Therefore, your fertile period starts approximately 4-5 days PRIOR to ovulation and ends 24-48 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. Another bit of info that many woman don't know is that female sperm are slower but stronger and therefore live longer than male sperm which are faster, but weaker. In other words, male sperm will usually beat out female sperm in the race for the egg, yet female sperm will usually out live male sperm. So, if you are trying for a girl, have sex the 5th, 4th, and 3rd day before ovulation and then abstain.
It is not true that there is a difference between the live/speed of sperm depending on whether it's male or female. ALL sperm are the same basic genetic make-up. The differences lie in what genetic material is carried in the head of the sperm.


From what I just read, approximately 3-7 days, depending on the acidity of the vagina.

Depends on when she is ovulating. If there is 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.

Answer 3

In the proper environment, such as the female reproductive tract beyond the cervix, sperm have a life-span of up to five days. In other environments, such as the vagina, sperm live only a few hours and even less than that outside the human body, exposed to the open air. The egg, on the other hand, has a life-span of only about twenty-four hours from the time it bursts from the ovary. So, fertilization can occur anytime live sperm meet up with a live egg, which can happen even if the sperm are deposited up to five days in advance of ovulation.

Answer 4

Sperms can live for up to 72 hours 3 days in the female body.

Answer 6

For those new to trying-to-conceive or those getting pregnant for the first time, when you think of sperm health you think of sperm count, or the actual number of little fellows in each ejaculate. While sperm count is indeed important, there are other equally central aspects of male fertility. These include healthy sperm motility and variables like morphology (correct shape and physiological structure). Also, in a given sample, a certain percentage of sperm must be "vital" (basically, alive and swimming). Sperm count is defined as the actual number of sperm in a given sample, and according to the World Health Organization, typical counts should be around 40 million in a given semen sample (during a semenanalysis). Products like FertilMarq, a home testing kit available in our online store, can alert you to basic problems in count. Next, sperm motility is defined as the forward, swimming motion exhibited by each unique sperm. To be motile, sperm must be able to metabolize energy and "swim" to the goal (the ovum).

Given normal sperm parameters in the area of motility, count, vitality, and morphology, how long can sperm survive in a woman? That's a good question, but the answer is a very difficult one and depends on a large number of variables including the individual longevity of sperm, the internal metabolic capacity of sperm, the environment of the vagina (body temperature, ph levels, relative acidity), the presence of cervical mucus, the quality of cervical mucus, the ability of the sperm to get out of the vagina and into the womb, and the presence of sperm antagonists like immunity securing white-blood cells.

Given the most ideal conditions (ideal vaginal/uterine environments, fertile CM, strong sperm health, etc) sperm may be able to survive between six and seven days. That's about a quarter of a typical menstrual cycle - and that means an extended window of fertility before ovulation. In most cases, however, we can assume that there will be realistic factors that may decrease sperm longevity or inhibit sperm movement. First of all, the sperm need to get out of the vagina and into the uterus (through the cervix). If the sperm can't make that initial leg of the journey in a few hours, most will end up dead shortly thereafter. Now, if fertile-quality cervical mucus is present and abundant, and if the sperm make make it to cervix and the womb, then sperm life-span can be extended. On average, we can expect sperm to survive just a day or two, and given more optimum conditions or luckier happenstance, a handful of days more.

Of course, with each passing day more and more sperm die and the odds of conceiving diminish. Therefore, the ideal trying-to-conceive strategy would be to make love daily during days of both transitional and high fertility.

I hope this helps=)
