Patient's question:
I'm quite eager to get pregnant quickly, mainly because my mother-in-law is urging me. I had sex with my husband just yesterday, and it's currently my ovulation period. I want to know how quickly sperm can reach the fallopian tubes.Doctor's answer:
The average lifespan of sperm after being released outside the body in the female reproductive tract is as follows: vagina 0.5 to 2.5 hours, cervix 48 hours; uterus 24 hours, fallopian tubes 48 hours. An egg released from the ovary lives in the fallopian tubes for about 12 to 16 hours; the reoccurrence of fertilization occurs in the ovary or nearby in the fallopian tube. The above is my suggestion on this issue, hoping it helps you. Wishing you a speedy recovery!
