Absolutely: You have a significant possibility of becoming pregnant by having sex several times while you are most fertile. Depending on the method of testing you may be able to determine your pregnancy status in just a week or two afterwards.

Yes: The chance of pregnancy in a healthy fertile couple is 25% during each encounter in while in the fertile window.
Sperm can survive up to 72 hours in the the female genital tract and eggs usually survive about 24 hours.
You can monitor your ovulation with oTC kits or the old temperature method. If pregnancy isn't desired, use contraception.
