How Long Can Sperm Live?

Hi I am kindof new to this site. I
have only written a few times, but read it
alot. We have decide to try for another
baby, but not until october. This is
the first month off birth control and we
did not use any other protection this was
on aug. 14th. I am not supposed to
ovulate until the 21st. I have been
reading and it says that it can live for 5
days which I thought. On other sites it
says 7 days does anyone know?

Put it this way,i'm not trying but i'm not
preventing it wither,lol I wouldn't mind
having one but i'm more in the mind frame
of just letting it happen instead of
driving myself nuts trying! Why are you
waiting to ttc?

That is so true. It is so much fun to
try. I am trying to plan this one to
surprise family at christmas. It is so
hard to decide when to start. We got
pregnant on the first try last time and I
heard that it will not happen like that
again. My friend has been trying for 2
years finally she gave up she was so sick
of buying test. Low and behold she is
now 9 weeks pregnant.

Good luck to you. I hope things work out
for you the way you want them too. You
will have to let me know how it turns out.
