Only with science: Naturally, no, you cannot get a healthy pregnancy without releasing an egg from you ovary (ovulation). It is possible to get pregnant with an egg donor, or using your own frozen eggs or embryos without ovulating.

With treatment: If you do not ovulate at all, not without treatment. With medication and monitoring most anovulatory women can conceive. Most women with infrequent ovulation (oligo-ovulation) can also conceive.

Yes and no: You have to be ovulating in order to get pregnant. But, you can have sex before the day of ovulation that could lead to pregnancy. The best time to conceive is to have intercourse the day of ovulation but sperm can live in good cervical mucus for 3-5 days. So, if you have unprotected intercourse on saturday sperm could survive until ovulation on tuesday.

Possibly: Sperm can survive 24 to 72 hours in optimal cervical mucus. If sperm is deposited within the vaginal canal prior to ovulation, pregnancy can still occur within 72 hours.

Unlikely: No. You can only get pregnant when sperm touches an ovulated egg. Sperm can live for a few days in a uterus so as long as you are not having unprotected sex a few days before or after you ovulate, it is unlikely to get pregnant.

Within days of ;yes: However;how do you know for sure if or when. Young females may not ovulate every month and there are ovulation prediction methods. However, I wouldn't assume if your "prediction" is not, that you can have unprotected sex and not worry about it. Women have at some point become pregnant on any day of the cycle, and no unprotected sex is considered free of risk.
