Question

Typically, how many days does an egg live after its released from the ovary?

Answer 1

An egg can usually live for 12 to 24 hours (or one day) after it is released from the ovary, after which the egg will disintegrate and trigger the next menstrual cycle

Explanation:

Meanwhile, sperm can survive inside the female body for up to five days, so pregnancy can still occur if the activity has taken place before the egg has been released.

Pregnancy timing is a complicated procedure which may require professional help or body fluid monitoring if the goal is to become pregnant.

If the goal is not to become pregnant, then reliable birth control is required every time, and trust no one but yourself to keep you safe.
