  • No I don't think so I thought it was like a day after you OV the egg only lives up to 12 to 24 hours so i have read.

  • the egg only lives for 8-12 hours. when we were ttc i read that there is no point having sex once you had ovulated because the egg has probably already died. you have to ensure the sperms are there ready and waiting for the egg, sperm can live up to 5 days so hence the reason why its important to have as much sex the week of ovulation to ensure plenty of sperm for that all important egg!!! hope this helps xxxxxxx
  • thought so! thanks i couldnt remember how many days after it was!! :lol:
