How long until egg meets sperm after ovulation?

Question

I was on a trip the week leading up to ovulation. But on the day my temperature dropped and likely ovulated (CD 11) I was traveling home and my husband I baby danced that night. Do you think we still have a shot this month? I’m curious how long your egg is viable after the day you ovulated. 
Trying not to lose hope but I’ve lost count how many cycles we’ve been trying now 🤪

Answer

I’d keep going; you might not have ovulated yet. (Unusual to have a dip at 4 dpo). While an egg can theoretically survive up to 24 hours, newer research shows that it needs to be fertilized pretty quickly for a viable pregnancy to occur. So there is a chance, but not likely if you did ovulate then. Sorry.

Answer

Egg lives up to 12-24 hours I believe. You do have a good chance!
