Possible: Sperm can live for 48-72 hours in the female genital tract and can fertilize an egg if ovulation happens. Some reports show sperm living as long as 5 days (less likely). If intercourse happened close to ovulation, than yes, there is a chance. If you are trying to avoid pregnancy, you should consider condoms or other forms of contraception.

Sperm: In general, most experts agree that an egg/oocyte has a lifespan of about 24 hours. However, there is some disagreement about how long sperm can remain viable. The general consensus is that sperm may remain viable for 5-7 days in the upper genital tract.
