Q: When You Say Sperm Can Last For a Few Days...

Say they can last 3-4 days. The day you have intercourse, does that count as day 1 of how long it can last, or do you start counting with the next day? Like if we had intercourse on the 27, do you count the 27 as the first day or the 28th?

Just wondering, because depending on this I could be preg... It might be a stretch, but i'm hoping :) thanks!

I would start counting from the day after you had sex just to be on the safe side. I heard it can stay inside you anywhere from 3-7 days

See, I was thinking that maybe we had sex too early and missed my ovulation day, but I just read on ovulation-calculator.Com that you're really fertile 4-5 days before you ovulate (which I hadn't heard before) and that's exactly when we did, so I just have to wait another week to see if it worked :)

Active User, very eHealthy

If it was in the morning, I would count that day, if it was at night, I would start counting the next day. Good luck. I hope your pregnant!
