Is it possible..

To get pregnant if you only have sex the day before ovulation, not on the day of ovulation itself?

Had sex twice the day before and then not again for 3 days

Sorry if this is a daft question!

Yup

Yes it definitely is! Sperm can supposedly live inside you for up to 5 days I think (if I remember correctly)
Hopefully that's the answer you were hoping to hear x

Thankyou!

Yep absolutely only DTD day before and 3 days after and I’m 5+2 weeks pregnant x

I saw ewcm in the evening
dtd once the following afternoon
2 more days of ewcm and now pregnant only takes once!

It's actually better to DTD right before ovulation than on the day of ovulation because sperm takes quite a few hours to reach the egg/get ready to inseminate. So if you got it there the day before, it's still nice and fresh but fully ready 😅- so that's when you're statistically more likely to get PG

E.g. see this: modernfertility.com/blog/research-ovia-study-fertility/

I'm currently pregnant from day 8 of my cycle which is typically 28 days long so absolutely!

Wow, so you got pregnant 6 days before ovulation @Jericha? That's Amazing!

Yes I couldn't believe it @LilacSky95 after TTC "properly" for ages, that month it was just the once so 100% on my dates.

Agree! This is great advice. I was told it takes up to 12 hours for the spent to reach the right spot so it's better to have it up there waiting

Thanks so much everyone, was worried I'd be out this month 🤣 it's all so confusing, theres so much stress put on the day of ovulation and opk you panic that you've missed it!

Yep! I didn't DTD too much around ovulation. 20+4 with twins!
