Intercourse before Ovulation
My husband and I had intercourse on Thursday, January 13 yesterday I began feeling pain in the lower left side of my abdomen, close to where my ovaries are. I read that this could be a sign of ovulation and upon taking an OPK this morning, I found out I was ovulating. I have also read that sperm can live up to 5 days, could I possibly be pregnant or are the odds highly unlikely?
Oh, if you are trying, then make sure you have sex at least every other day before/during/after ovulation. :-) Good luck!! I hope you get a positive soon!
Yep, the sperm can live up to that long. You have a slight chance of being pregnant. You can take a first response pregnancy test up to 6 days before a missed period to find out for sure. I hope you get the outcome you want - whether pregnant or not this month! Best of luck to you.
