Ah, grammar....: We cannot get pregnant w/out having sex, but it need not be exactly on the day of ovulation. If it was the day before, sperm live long enough to wait for the egg. If the day after, it is still there and fresh when they get there. The greatest chance slowly lessens - to never quite zero. So, if you had unprotected sex near ovulation, yes.
