Egg & sperm timing question (m)
| Tue, 07-22-2003 - 4:37pm |
Hi all, newbie on this board, but not iVillage...
I know that the sperm can live for a couple of days inside and then meet up with the egg a day or 2 later. What about the egg? Once it's released, about how long do we have to get some sperm in there to do their thing? My DH travels for work Mon-Fri so I'm worried about the cycles where I don't O on a weekend. If I O on Thursday and DH gets home Friday night, did we miss our chance? Or could the egg still possibly be hanging around?
Good luck to you all!

Welcome to the board! Hope your stay is short and sweet.
From what I've heard, the egg lives about 12-24 hours so chances are that Friday night would be on the late side. Still it doesn't hurt to BD anyway!
Good luck to you!
