Anyone conceived from just having sex once 5 days before ovulation?

As the title says: Anyone conceived from just having sex once 5 days before ovulation?

They say sperm can live for up to 5 days but I'm guessing that's rare.

I'd love to know if there's like an exact figure, like 4.65 days maximum or something like that which has been researched lol.

Not TTC yet but will at some point so just fascinated really.

Not 5 days but 4 days for me! Good luck TTC.

Yep, twice!

Yes. My 3rd, surprise, new year baby!

Yes, I'm currently 35 weeks pregnant with my very unexpected conception that was 5 days before ovulation.

Thanks for the replies. Really interesting to hear stories of this. Amazing how those little swimmers can stay alive for so long!

I had sex prior to ovulation on three occasions. I'm not sure how many days prior. This resulted in three pregnancies (which resulted in two babies)

did you have boys or girls? Just out of interest! According to the shettles method they should be girls 🤷🏼‍♀️

I conceived my first child on day 7 of my cycle. Only day we had sex, as DH then went abroad for 3 weeks for work and arrived back to me pregnant .

Yup, pregnant with a girl 👧

Very encouraging, thank you ladies

Yes!

Dd was conceived after dtd on day 23 of a 28 day cycle
. Dp worked away so I know for sure!
She was a week over the hospital due date.

Thanks all for sharing. So fascinating, and I know this will be very encouraging for a lot of women as well.

So weird to think that sperm can survive for that long inside you!
