sperm viability??

question for you guys:) i’m doing at home insemination this month, and i’ve already done 3 so far during this fertile period… but i have some worries getting into my head.

i’ve read SO much about how long sperm lives outside the body, and i’ve read conflicting things.. in general, i’ve heard everything from a few minutes from ejaculation, to hours in a cup.

in my case, sterile/clean cups have been used, and majority of transfers have been made 30-45 minutes before insemination. i’m worried that perhaps it won’t take because of this. or maybe i’m over worrying? am i doing everything right? can sperm stay fertile within that time frame?
