Thanks for asking!: Yes, it is possible - the sperm usually lives for 72 hours in the female genital tract.

Less than 1/2: I assume you have only had intercourse the one time 3 days before ovulation and not after
that. Based on that the pregnancy rate is probably 10% or so, with normal cycle preg rates = 25%.
Good luck.

Having sexual: intercourse three days prior to ovulation would increase odds of becoming pregnant. Chances are much lower if you have sexual intercourse 8 days prior to ovulation. Take care.

If you only had sex 2 -3 days after ovulation - you probably won't conceive that cycle. The egg has only about 24 hours to be fertilized after ovulation.
