I have heard that sperm can survive inside of you for 2-4 days, even 5 days in the right conditions.. It sounds like there is a possibility but don't sweat it too much.. If you worry about it that alone will make AF late.

You may want to take a test around when AF is due just for peace of mind if nothing else.

Good luck and keep us posted...

As far as I know sperm can live in a woman for up to 72 hours. Also the best times to conceive are 2-3 days before ovulation so there is a chance that you could be pregnant. I would wait to see if you get your period and then take a test.

if you had the right cm then sperm can live for up to 5 days usually once those little buggers get past the cervix.
