Sperm have a typical life span of 72
hours... however when a woman's body
is approaching ovulation, (up to 5 days
beforehand) she produces a mucus that can
actually help the sperm last a bit longer
than that, until ovulation time. There
are little channels in the mucus that help
sperm survive the climate of the
vagina/uterus and help sperm travel to
their destination, so to speak (imagine
sort of a combination train system/hangout
for sperm, until the time is right).
So while a sperm can live on average 72
hours, as ovulation draws near, a woman's
body can help it hang on a little longer.
