i have another question. sorry for asking so many....but like i said i'm pregnancy retarded and some of these websites dont really answer the questions you have. but i know chances are higher of becoming pregnant when you're ovulating...now how long does ovulation usually last? is it like a one day thing then you're done? or does it go on for a week, two weeks...etc etc. after reading some posts in here i've been curious about it. i'd talk to mom about it but....she's never home. she works as a nurses aide and is gone 90% of the time and when she is home she eats then goes to sleep. so blah....i have rely on the help of youns!!!

Multiples can be released especially if a women is on certain types of fertlity drugs.

[heatherlynn22]

so once the egg is actually released it only has 24 hours to live? is it just one egg released at a time or is it multiple?

An egg typically only lives for 24 hours before dying. But just as Shell said, sperm can live for days in the vagina, so having sex before and after ovulation helps!!!

I think it's like 24-36 hours and the egg dies. You can have sex a few days before and the sperm can live in your fallopian tubes waiting for the egg to be released. So you have about a good 3-4 days window I'd think.
