A member asked:

If i had my ovulation after 2 days and we had sex before that, is it possible to get me pregnant?

Specializes in Obstetrics and Gynecology

Sure: Having sex around the time of ovulation is the most efficient way to increase your chances of pregnancy. If you do not want to be pregnant then use over the counter Plan B if intercourse was within 72 hours to decrease the risk of unplanned pregnancy.
