Sperm lifespan

[Beautiful Disaster]

Hi loves

Thought with all the chatterboxes away I ask a question. After DTD how long do the swimmers generally live? I'm new to this and don't know what date I will O. I know it's one day between thurs and sat this week. Arghhh so difficult to understand! Hope everyone is having a great long weekend.

I think its about 3 days but there are ladies on here who would say 5 !!! Im currently 2 days late !!! and I dont think we DTD when I ovulated so we'll see

Research has shown that some sperm may survive in the Fallopian tubes up to 7 days, with the average amount of time being 3 to 4 days.

From what I have heard and read its about 5 days, Girls last longer than boy I think its girls that last 5 day and boys only last about 2, so its best to BD on Ov day if you want a boy...

Thanks for advice I would prefer a girl to start for so many reasons but at the moment just be happy to fall preg and have a healthy happy baby
