A member asked:

Is having sex the day before you ovulate increase your chances of getting pregnant?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes.: Counting the first day of your period as day 1, in a regular 28 day cycle ovulation would occur on day #14. Having vaginal intercourse on days 12, 13 (the day before you ovulate) and 14 would increase your chances of becoming pregnant.
