Sperm can live up 5 days is the best of circumstances! It's funny that they teach you that women are fertile only for a couple days a month, but if sperm can live 5 days, and your eggs live for about 48 hours, that means 7 days a month you are fertile! Get good birth control lol.

Or make sure you that you are using condoms if you aren't sure about the birth control.

In the proper environment, such as the female reproductive tract beyond the cervix, sperm have a life-span of up to five days. In other environments, such as the vagina, sperm live only a few hours and even less than that outside the human body, exposed to the open air. The egg, on the other hand, has a life-span of only about twenty-four hours from the time it bursts from the ovary. So, fertilization can occur anytime live sperm meet up with a live egg, which can happen even if the sperm are deposited up to five days in advance of ovulation.
