A member asked:

Is there still a chance of getting pregnant if you have sex after ovulation, like a day or two after? i'm still having some ovary pain.

A chance, but lower: After ovulation the egg can be fertilized for maybe 12 hours or so. Good wishes.

Less likely but:: Fertilization needs to occur within 12-24 hours after ovulation. After that time fertilization won't occur. Women with regular cycles often get one sided ovarian pain on ovulation, lasting 1-2 days.
