How long can sperm and eggs survive after being released?

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

The eggs released generally survive for 12 to 30 hours. After sexual intercourse, the semen ejaculated into the vagina by men contains at least 2 to 3 milliliters, and up to 5 to 6 milliliters. Each milliliter contains at least 60 million sperm, and up to 100 to 200 million. In the vagina for 2 hours, 90% of the sperm die, and generally survive no more than 8 hours; 1 to 5% can reach the uterine cavity; most sperm entering the uterus can survive for 6 hours, and in the fallopian tubes, sperm can survive for 1 to 3 days.
