Posting for traffic as I have no shame.

As the titles says, anyone here get pregnant from sex 4/5 days before their ovulation day?

I ovulated yesterday (confirmed - test & I get epic ovulation cramps). Had sex on Friday just gone and now wondering the chances of it resulting in baby #2.

Not actively trying, but happy either way. Just curious really Smile

Yep. It was twins. The odds are quite low though.

Onlyfools · 19/09/2018 21:09

Yes although ended in MC

Narwhalrunsmymind · 19/09/2018 21:12

Yes 😊

Simple answer: yes

GreenMeerkat · 19/09/2018 21:14

Unlikely but not impossible!

LaurieMarlow · 19/09/2018 21:30

Unusual but possible

ButAIBUtho · 19/09/2018 21:31

I got pregnant on the last day of my period.
Day 7.
I genuinely did not think that was possible.

cleopatracomingatya · 19/09/2018 21:32

Nope but sperm can survive for several days in the vagina so not impossible

sayanythingelse · 19/09/2018 21:36

Yep only had sex once - 5 days before ovulation. She'll be one in December.

historygeek12 · 19/09/2018 21:38

Yep she’s nineteen now !

My 3rd baby is a CD6 baby and I ovulated day 12 or 13 Shock

Crunchymum · 19/09/2018 21:52

Mine was also last day of my period.

WhatALearningCurve · 19/09/2018 21:56

I will be honest and say I have no idea when I would be ovulating. Never had need to look into it. However I'm currently 15 weeks pregnant and we've worked out that I must have become pregnant on the Tuesday after my period ended on the Friday. Which seems to be about two weeks before ovulation would be presumed!

Yes she’s a beautiful 8 year old. I tried for 3 years for her. Know exactly when it was as my husband was on a set of nights so it couldn’t have been any other time. Was rather despondent as thought that’s my chance for this month gone but then I got a big fat positiveGrin

PleaseJustSayNo · 19/09/2018 22:04

Sperm lives for circa 5 days inside a vagina so definitely possible

Disabrie22 · 19/09/2018 22:06

Yes - five days and she’s in school now.

Boofay · 19/09/2018 22:21

Yup! 16 weeks old and gently snoozing in her next2me.

Seem to be a lot of girls conceived.

hooveringhamabeads · 19/09/2018 22:27

Yes, both of my dc were conceived 4 days before ovulation.

I did get pg from having sex 7 days before ovulation but it ended in a miscarriage at 6 weeks.

hooveringhamabeads · 19/09/2018 22:28

And yes both mine are girls...the theory goes that boys swim faster but girls live longer, so if it’s more than 24 hours before ovulation it’s likely to be a girl.

So if I am it will likely be a girl ☺ I'm a little excited now to find out.

hooveringhamabeads · 19/09/2018 22:34

Very likely to be I’d say, going on my own and friends experiences. Fingers crossed for you.

thecatsarecrazy · 19/09/2018 22:38

I got pregnant one day after period ended. I read that the earlier you do it the more chance of a girl. Nope ds number 3 Grin
