Hello!

According to plannedparenthood.Com sperm can live inside a woman for up to 7 days.

But that doesn't mean that it takes that long for the sperm to reach the egg. Fertilization of the egg can take place within a few hours, to a couple of days.

Actually sperm can live up to 5 days in a woman's body. It all depends though on the dna and also the structure of the womans body...With most people it stays alive for approximately 3 days, but there is the possibility of 5.
