A member asked:

Can i get pregnant a week after ovulation? im ovulating and if i was to have sex a week later would i get pregnant?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No: You can only get pregnant when you have sex before or right at the time of ovulation. If it is absolutely certain you are ovulating now, having sex a week later cannot get you pregnant.
