How long do they live??

[jcparks]

Hi everyone

I have a question...

How long do the "little swimmers" eg sperm live?

I've heard they can live in your body for up to 7 days, is that correct??

Thanks

My gyno told me up to 5 days in ideal conditions.

Mad scientist in me coming out

Average 3ish days but can, as Kirsty said, be up to 5 depending on their original condition and the "environmental" conditions.

Yep 3-5 days. Girl swimmers live longer than boy swimmers

Hi Brooke456Brooke

Here is a copy of a post I made a couple of weeks ago

It is the Y sperm that produces a boy.
Y sperm do not like acid
So here are some tips to favour a baby boy

1 Deep penetration
Your vagina has a higher acid level at the entrance

2 Douche with baking soda and water just before sex

3 A woman’s orgasm reduces the acid in the vagina

4 Do not have sex for 4 days before ovulation then have sex 12 hours before ovulation
Y sperm are faster swimmers but do not live as long as X sperm

Thanks guys, that clears it up!
