how long do sperm "live"

So my husband and I are trying.. I've been in the fertile stage since Thursday and tomorrow is the ovulation day.. we've been consistent with intercourse every other day, and will again tomorrow.. how long should  we keep at it? Also anyone know how long an active sperm stays in a woman's system? I've heard too many different answers. Someone enlighten me please.

Also some suggest after intercourse  laying flat with pelvis tilted upwards slightly.

Sperm  usually  can live up to  24 to 48 hours. But in the right  conditions  sperm can servive longer even up to a few day's.
