Since sperm can live inside women's vagina and cervix for anywhere from 3-10 days it ultimately depends on web you ovulate and wen u had sex. It's always good to have sex 2 days before, the day before, the day of, AND the day after ovulation. If sperm is alive inside the cervix anytime BEFORE you ovulate the sperm will swim up inside your uterus and through you Fallopian tube and will literally be waiting for the egg to be released so that they can fertilize anytime after ovulation the sperm will take the same route but will immediately fertilize as the zygote makes its way out of the tube and into the uterus to begin the circle of life:) this is all possible IF the sperm is viable and IF you ovulated. Otherwise no pregnancy will occur here are a few tips immediately after intercourse, when the sperm has been released inside you, lay on your back for at least 15-30 minutes with a pillow under your lower back to help guide the sperm in they the cervix and so on but most important... NO LUBRICANTS it slows down sperm. If you absolutely with out a doubt NEED lube, invest in Preseed it's a sperm friendly lube that has actually help a lot of women that are lacking cervical mucous get pregnant on their first try.
