A member asked:

Can you get pregnant when you have sex a week after you ovulate but the guy didn't ejaclute?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No: No, because the egg doesn't not live that long. But, how does a woman know exactly how many days her egg has been out of her ovary? That's why a reliable form of birth control is needed, if not trying to start a family.
