Dr. Victor Beshay answered

Specializes in Fertility Medicine

Unlikely: Sperm can live for 48-72 hours in the female genital tract and can fertilize an egg if ovulation happens. There are even some reports of sperm living as long as 5 days. Since intercourse took place at the time of your cycle, pregnancy is unlikely.
