Sperm, in the vagina, can only survive about six hours due to the acidic vaginal secretions. The cervical mucus present when ovulation is near, is more alkaline and more hospitable to sperm. The egg white consistency of the cervical mucus helps the sperm move more easily through the vagina to the cervix, increasing the chance that the sperm will be in the correct location for fertilization to occur.

While it may stay alive for up to 5 days, it's potency is greatly diminished (thus reducing your chances for pregnancy) after 48 hours. If you are trying to conceive and time it right when your ovulating, you should look to have intercourse every OTHER day. This way it gives your partner time to "replenish" [if you know what I mean ;-)] and will allow the sperm presently in your body to do their thing. After the 48 hours have passed, your parnter will be recharged and a new batch can come in and make a run at it. Good luck!

Hunny, I know that this is not what you want to hear but you should not be having sex at all because there is nothing that is 100% effective to prevent pregnancy. EVEN BIRTH CONTROL. Trust me I know!! Please wait till you are old enough and mature enough to if you did get pregnant that you could take care of your baby and yourself because right now you can't do either. Good Luck to you.
