Dr. Seth Derman answered

Specializes in Reproductive Endocrinology and Infertility

Depends : It depends on what you consider to be your fertile week. Ovulation is a one time monthly event. The sperm can survive 3 days so you can still conceive if you if you have had intercourse within 3 days of ovulation.
