Intimate Question. . .

How long does sperm survive after ejaculation?

[greedyforbabies]

do you mean inside the woman? i think it depends on if you have fertile mucus or not, cos it lives for longer if you are at your fertile time.
i concieved at least 4 days after having sex, but i have heard of it lasting longer.

[fineanddandy]

oh god! Had unprotected sex last night - today is day 14 and convinced I'm ovulating now! Can you conceive several hours or days after you've done the business?

[CadburyCremeSquonk]

yup

[fineanddandy]

this is only second time we've had unprotected sex. Chances of conception are slim, no?

[greedyforbabies]

if you were trying to get pregnant, i would say you had timed it perfectly! but if you're not, i would say the chances of getting pregnant are very slim!

[fineanddandy]

Ha!! Oh well, have to wait and see. Terrible timing though as I have a very boozy weekend lined up; should I not drink if there's a chance i might be?

[greedyforbabies]

personally i would say have fun this weekend and drink all you want. if you are pg the embryo wouldn't even have implanted by then so i doubt if drinking would do much harm. but obviously i am no doctor!
i have gotten pissed just after concieving all of mine (mainly cos i am a bit of a pisshead!) and they seem alright! well.........no.1 and 2 do, i am still cooking no.3 so will have to wait and see!
