A member asked:

Hi there, what are the odds of getting pregnant if you have sex 2 days and 1 day before ovulation? i am not on birth control pills.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Odds: The odds are better than they would be earlier or later in your cycle, as sperm live and are active for 2-3 days. It is also difficult to determine with certainty when you actually ovulate, but around the time of ovulation is when your chances are highest for becoming pregnant.
