Has anyone got pregnant 4 days before ovulation?

We had sex 4 days before I ovulated. Just wanted to know if anyone else conceived that far of ovulation. Hoping I am pregnant!

Sperm can take up to 5 days to fertilise an egg, so it's possible!

MyFaceIsAnAONB · 08/06/2023 15:56

Yeah you can. Sperm will hang out and catch the egg as it’s released.

It depends on several factors.
The quality of the sperm for one , some mens sperm can only survive as little as one day once ejaculated.

It also depends on weather you've got the right fluid in there. If it's not fertile fluid like ewcm ,it makes it really difficult for sperm to swim in and survive. It also helps keep sperm lubricated to prolong their lifespan.
If the conditions are right and the quality is good .. yes its entirely possible.

@ImpromptuGathering what was your pregnancy symptoms like if you dont mind me asking?

I had an implantation bleed on about day 22 or 23. No other symptoms at that time iirc

Shoemadlady · 09/06/2023 23:48

Yes, sperm survives fir 7 days, egg lives for only two so if you have sex 5-7 days before ovulation you can catch

Stargazer03 · 10/06/2023 14:50

Well yes tou can as when you get a positive ovulation tests you might not release the egg for 48 hours
Even if it was 4 days I think it really depends on the sperm some sperm make it and some die really fast . On average most don't live that long but if he sperm are strong and they can make it to the egg you can totally get pregnant few days before.

Wow this is amazing. Congratulations I only did it 4 days before O so I’m hoping too

Shoemadlady · 02/07/2023 21:23

I caught after having intercourse 6 days before ovulation

Sabina93 · 10/10/2024 07:53

@Emdalem Hi, can I just ask what did you have? Boyr or girl? 🙂

Kylie000088 · 10/04/2026 12:44

I was googling this same question last month, came across your post and it gave me hope! It did indeed work! I got pregnant from 4 day sperm too! Just thought I'd put this out there so people can also have hope when searching !
