A member asked:

Can you fall pregnant if you have intercourse 1 day after scheduled ovulation date?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Possibly: After ovulation the egg is only good for 12 hours to be fertilized. So if you don't have intercourse until after ovulation then it is not likely that you will get pregnant. However, if you are not sure exactly when you are ovulating then i would recommend waiting at least 3 days after you think you ovulated to have unprotected sex.
