Answer to Question 1

T
Most sperm survive for no more than 1 or 2 days, although a few will remain fertile in the
female reproductive tract for up to 80 hours. Conception requires correct timing for
fertilization to occur. This information is important whether the patient is seeking to
become pregnant or prevent pregnancy.
