What is the chance of pregnancy when sex takes place 2 or 4 days prior to ovulation?

Question by Dutch: What is the chance of pregnancy when sex takes place 2 or 4 days prior to ovulation?
I just went off the pill 2 months ago, and I’m supposed to get an IUD next month. For the 2 months between my boyfriend and I have been relying on condoms, but one of them broke early Wednesday morning. I think I may have ovulated between Friday and Sunday. What are the chances that pregnancy will occur?

That’s too close to give you a definite no…but that’s pretty risky. You should go to Planned Parenthood or your doctor’s office to take a pregnancy test just to make sure. Or wait until your next period is due and cross your fingers. If you choose that option, try not to stress; that will only delay the onset of your period.

    about 50/50. semen can live for about a week. You should call your local planned parenthood or pharmacy and ask. The time limit to take the morning after pill has already passed. GL

  2. marquita46 says:

    sperm can live in the womb for up to a week – so anything can happen! since it happened a while ago emergency pill isn’t really an option now, so your either going to have to wait till your next period or wait two weeks before u can take a pregnancy test.

  3. little_l says:

    According to online ovulation calculators such as http://www.ovulation-calculator.org/ , 2 days prior to ovulation is considered your fertile period as semen can live in a woman’s body for days. So it is possible that you can get pregnant.

  4. zayray5 says:

    Its actually fairly high. Sperm can live a few days. Unless your boyfriend already has children, he may not even be feral so its not a defiant yes either. If you do get pregnant, you are more likely to have a girl. When u have intercourse a couple days before ovulation, the sperm with the xx swim slower but live longer so by the time you ovulate, its mostly xx still alive if any.
