Re: is it true
Yes. That is why it is recommended to BD in the days to prior to ovulation because it takes time for them to travel and they can live up to 5 days inside of you thereby greatly increasing your odds of conception.

we BD'd sunday night & accoring to mymonthlycycles.com, i will O on wednesday....im not sure how accurate that is, but i figured it would increase chances even if i O a day earlier or later than the 17th

Re: is it true
Yes its true – it CAN live up to three days or so. But keep in mind that that is only in ideal conditions – plenty of EWCM and perfect PH levels. I wouldn’t count on them living that long every time – every cycle. It depends how hospitable your internal environment is.
In general I think 1-2 days is average and 3-5 days is the longer extreme. But hey – it can never hurt to BD early!!

i dont THINK i have any EWCM yet, however is that always something you will see externally?
DH and i did O at the same time which i know that helps as well!
