Is the female egg capable of being fertilized after "waiting around" for more than 12 hours for the sperm?

Question

I'm assuming that the sperm wasnt present when the egg dropped and lets say the sperm didnt "show up" until more than 12 hours later..

Answer 1

Yes.  I have extremely painful ovulations, and I know exactly when I ovulated with baby #2, and there was no babymaking for at least 12-18 hours after I ovulated.  

Answer 2

the egg can live for up to 12/24 hours and it can take sperm a matter of hours to reach the egg, so if you have released the egg there is still a chance to get pregnant  

Answer 3

the egg can live for 24 hours after it is released from the ovary. sperm can live for 3-5 days after being deposited, so to speak. that's why they say the best chance for concieving is having s*x the day before you actually ovulate. this allows sperm to be waiting on the egg. but there is still a chance, any little disruption in your body can release the egg early or late.

Answer 4

yeah i think its about 3 days.. sperm can live that long and travel up.. if you know what i mean.. hard one to explain
