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.
Every month there is a small window of opportunity for a man and women to conceive, so timing is very important. An egg can be fertilized for a maximum of 24 hours after it is released from the ovary, according to pregnancy and childbirth expert Sheila Kitzinger. Therefore, a woman needs to understand how her menstrual cycle works and make an educated guess about when she will release an egg, also known as ovulating.
