How long does it take the sperm to get to the egg?
Should I even bother DTD if I Oed say around 2pm today? Will it be worth it?
wispers.... I think Dave is worn out and it might take some work on my part to *get it done* 
I KNOW...TMI

Depends on if the sperm stops to ask for directions.
Ok, ok, in all seriousness...I found this:
It can take up to seven days after intercourse for sperm and egg to join and become a fertilized egg. Usually, it's because the sperm gets into the fallopian tube before the egg is released.

ROTFL!
Depends on if they have to double back because they went to the left tube instead of the right.

I found this:
I'd like to add another sperm question: How long does it take a sperm to swim up to the fallopian tube and to the (ideally) waiting egg? I keep posting this question around and never get an answer (or even a guess!)
I read in the book _A Child Is Born_ that it takes 6 hours to make the journey. Some sperm won't make it through the cervix and some will stay behind at the cervix and wait (if the [cervical fluid] is right), while others will try to get through the uterus and the fallopian tubes. I rented the video of A Child Is Born. Sperm look like a bunch of brainless entities swimming in a race. Some go the wrong way. Some go in mindless circles. Some bump into and try to enter any cluster of cells that look like an egg. Some are double-tailed and can't swim straight, some are weak and mal-formed, many die on the way. A pitiful sight for sore eyes, in my opinion. But, some are strong and resolute and fight their way to the finish line where they get to try to bump into the egg. Only one is allowed to enter her majesty, the egg.
But then I also found this:
It takes about two hours to make the entire journey to the egg; however, some sperm are Olympic swimmers and can reach the egg in a half an hour. I looked this up and this is the article that I found if you are interested in reading it. http://www.mjbovo.com/Contracept/NO_Contracep.htm#long

FYI...so we don't get a bunch of PM's from the mods.....I forgot to say we aren't allowed to copy and paste from web sites. It has to either be in our words or a link.
That link was great! Thanks for looking it up! I had to laugh when it said the sperm have to bump into the egg. I am really feeling good about this month now cause Dave always bumps into things!

I will keep that in mind but you know it would not have been nearly as funny if it were in my own words.

After reading this thread I see there is some great simularities between men and sperm...swimming in circles, trying to enter things they shouldn't enter, and last of all not knowing a good thing unless it hits them on the head...Men!!!! LOL
