A member asked:

If we have sex 2 days after ovulation can pregnancy take place?

2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers

yes. It takes a a day or so for an egg to reach a position in the fallopian where it will encounter sperm & become fertilized. Pregnancy is certainly possible in the situation you describe.
