A member asked:

Could i be pregnant have sex 6 days before ovulation date?

Yes: Sperm lives 7 days and needs time to get to the ovum. You very well could be pregnant.

Low chance: There is a very low chance as sperm can live 48-72 hours and in some cases up to 5 days. The chance of pregnancy will depend on accuracy of timing of ovulation.
