Best Answer: The sperm can actually survive for up to 7 days inside the woman's reproductive tract... but this is VERY, VERY rare. More common is about three days. The length of their life inside the female body really depends on the environment, or the cervical mucus being made and how strong the sperms are... 30 - 60 minutes: Sperm can pass through uterus into fallopian tube in as little as 30 minutes ; fertilization can take place in less than an hour from entry thru the cervix. This is length of time sperm normally spends in uterus. Fertilization takes place in fallopian tubes ; embryo inplants in the womb. To become pregnant, the following steps must occur: 1 Sperm Transport The sperm must be deposited and transported to the site of fertilization. 2 Egg Transport Ovulation must occur and the egg must be picked up by the tube. 3 Fertilization and Embryo Development Union between the sperm and egg must result. Since sperm can live in a woman's body for up to five days, and the egg can only live for 12-24 hours, it makes sense to have the sperm "ready and waiting" when the egg is released, if a couple is trying to get pregnant. These enzymes quickly destroy any sperm that can't swim out of the semen within a few hours. It takes approximately 72 days for sperm to mature in the body. During the last 14 days of this process, the sperm are very much alive and swimming. They are alive a long time prior to leaving a man's body. During freezing, sperm are cooled to a very low sub zero temperature (minus 196 degrees Centigrade). In brief: Up to 72 hours.
