A member asked:
Me and my husband had sex yesterday thursday im supposed to ovulate on monday can i still get pregnant or should we try again before monday ?

Go ahead: If you're going to ovulate on monday, then plan to have sex about every other day for 3 days before and after ovulation. Sperm live about 48-72 hours at body temp, and maximal sperm production occurs having sex about every 48 hours. The egg is viable (able to be fertilized) for 48-72 hours. So there is your 3 days before and after. Saturday, monday, wednesday would work well in that scenario.

Possibly: Yes you can possibly become pregnant from that timing but in order to improve your chances intercourse either sunday or early monday morning would be helpful.
