A member asked:

How likely is it realistically of becoming pregnant if i had unprotected sex 6-7 days before ovulation test showed up positive?

Specializes in Maternal-Fetal Medicine

Not likely.: If that was your only unprotected encounter, it is not likely to result in pregnancy because the sperm can only live up to 5 days in your genital tract. Take Folic Acid 1 mg daily and check a urine pregnancy test 1-10 days after a late/missed period to be safe - and see your gynecologist for more answers. Best of luck!
