Dr. Robert Killian answered

Specializes in General Practice

TTC?: If you are trying to conceive then you must have sperm ready to meet the egg when it us released from the ovary. If you gave sex on your ovulation day you will not likely get pregnant. You have to have sex before ovulation to get pregnant.
