A member asked:

Can you get pregnant 3 days after ovulation? i've taken 2 tests 5 days early and both are negative.

3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers

Yes: Repeat in 10 days. That was your most fertile time.

No but maybe: You cannot get pregnant 3 days after ovulation, the egg is not viable to fertilize. It may be possible to get pregnant 3 or more days after apositive opk, because the test doesn't really pin the ovulation precisely.
