An egg lives for about 12-24 hours after you ovulate, and sperm can live for five to seven days. Ideally, you need a lot of sperm on stand-by to 'pounce' on that egg when it's released, so have sex in the days leading up to when you ovulate and a day after.
Can anybody tell me how long the egg can survives after it has been released? As I have just started charting, I think I missed ovulation by 1-2 days. Although Im not holding out much hope on catching it this cycle, I starting looking this up and found the answers varied quite alot. I've read it can only survive for 24 hours, somewhere else said for up to 48 hours and then my Zita West book says we are fertile for 5 days before and after ovulation.
