Can I get pregnant 11days before period is due?

Roughly 26/27day cycle.

Cycle day 16 had sex. 11 days before period due according to app, and outside of the fertile time. Any chance of pregnancy would you say?

Thank you

Very unlikely.
Nothing's impossible but it really isn't likely.

Thanks for the quick response. All my fertile signs were quite a long time before this day so I felt it was probably quite safe. My fertility app said it was safe. Hopefully all good.

Yes, you need to have some sperm hanging around in advance of egg production.
I'm assuming you don't want to be pregnant.
Fingers crossed for you!

I recently had sex the day before "possible fertile period" according to my app, I became pregnant with the odds being 10%. So the odds are low, but it can happen. Worked out it would have been day 7/8 of my cycle or I ovulated bloody early

Sperm lives for several days so...

This is very borderline. Most people ovulate 12-16 days before their period. Egg can potentially be fertilised upto 24 hrs after ovulation (but v unlikely) so technically there's a very small window of opportunity there. There's also a possibility that you ovulated late this month (how regular are your periods normally?)

If I were looking to avoid pregnancy I would definitely take a morning after pill (although do talk through your dates with the pharmacist to get an idea of the likelihood of the MAP not being effective). If I were TTC I wouldn't get my hopes up x
