How long does sperm really survive?

[pinkiepie]

I always here different things most people say they only survive 48 hours max. My ovulation was late so I ended up with a 5 day cut off and really hoping im preg but doubt it. I did an early preg test (first response) and im on cd 27 of a 31 day cycle used fmu and got a negative. Could I still be preg?

I've always heard 5 to 7 days. Wasn't temping or doing pols, but I'm pretty in tune with when I O & ds4 was at least a 5 day cut off, possibly more like 7(we were trying to avoid, thought it was further away)

strong sperm can last 5-7 days.
you still stand a chance.
some ppl hcg level wont able to detect that early

I always thought not more then 72 hours, but im not an expert, I hope u get ur bfp!

I hope so too one bug part of me thinking that I don't stand a chance is I used acijel to make myself acidic and we were doing bd 5 days in a row with our last attempt approx 5 days before o

I have conceived with one BD 5 days before O and also one BD 6 days before O(we weren't really TTC either time), but we are super-fertile!!! And didn't use any jellies with those two pregnancies. Best wishes!

Sounds like if I am then maybe it will most likely be a boy as I can see in your name youve got 3 boys from cut off.

My charting instructor tells me that during non fertile mucus, sperm can not survive, but during fertile mucus, sperm can survive 6 days.

Up to 5 days, but that is under the most ideal conditions. Probably more like 3...
