How long does sperm stay in your system before it dies?

Simple Question How Long Does Sp**m Stay in your system Before it Dies, and how many days before you ovulate can you actually get pregnant

sperm starts to die when its hit air. it never goes into your system it only goes into a cavitey (simply put ) unless you get pregnant then one sperm inters your overy

Dear pinky2008,
Sperm can live for a few hours in the open air, several hours on other things such as on clothes, towels and under nails etc. If you had unprotected sex up to 4 days prior to ovulation there is always a chance of pregnancy. The stats show a few days prior but there have been reported cases longer so this is why I say 4 days. Never have unprotected sex and you eliminate the chances greatly but keep in mind no birth control is 100%.
Sue...good luck

I've read from 3-7 days. Many factors are involved and will effect how long sperm can live in the vagina. So that leaves a very teenie tiny uncertain window during your cycle that you might not get pregnant.

It's a wiser option to use some sort of birth control - whether it be a barrier method (condoms) or a hormonal method (the pill, patch or shot)
