I just had my IUD removed 4 days ago. The night before I had it removed, my husband and I had sex. After reading a few things here and there, Im getting kinda worried... has anyone here had any experience with this. Anyone know how long sperm stay alive and swim around in there? I do know that an IUD does not stop ovulation, so I know there are some eggs floating around somewhere in there, since I didnt have a period the full year that I had the IUD. I concieved both of my children while on birth control and this is raising some questions for us. Anyone with input is greatly appreciated!

the sperm live 3-4 days inside a woman...

I think I've read somewhere that it can live up to 7 days. but rmoodyturtle could be right.

It is 7 days, I found that out AFTER I got pregnant and I read this in the sexual health clinic!

let me revise what I wrote...sperm can live longer than 3-4 days but they have the highest chance of fertilization in the 3-4 days. After that, though they may be alive and there is a SLIM chance you could still get pregnant then, they become less fertile. My roomate is a supervisor at the hospital...info per him.

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
