A member asked:

Is there a percentage of people who get pregnant 1-2 days after projected ovulation..? if not, how likely is it?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Very difficult: Sperm has to wait for egg. The egg will not wait for the sperm. Intercourse after ovulation usually does not result in a pregnancy.
