A member asked:

Can i conceive a boy if i had intercourse 3 days after ovulation?

Dr. Victor Beshay answered

Specializes in Fertility Medicine

No: Intercourse 3 days after ovulation is too late to conceive at all. The egg survives for a short period of time once ovulated, and 3 days after ovulation you are likely outside your fertile window.
