Can you get pregnant any time of the month? Has this happened to anyone?

Just curious to see if you had to dtd around ovulation to be sure to conceive

Yes of course you can, because you can never be 100% sure when you're doing to ovulate and sperm survives a couple of days .

You can never be sure when you will ovulate, and while I think the egg lasts somewhere between 24-48 hours sperm lives for much longer. Sperm on average I think lasts for roughly 72 hours, but can live for up to 5 days.

When I did the maths, my DS was conceived on a day when there definitely should not have been an egg anywhere.
