Umm you can not get pregnant before ovulation because your egg has not been released yet. Sperm on average only live for 3 days in the utuerus, so it is very unlikely that you could be pregnant. Sorry!!

YES IT IS POSSIBLE! I was charting my temps with my son, and according to my chart I ovulated 6 days later. The doctor concurred with me. It isn't usual, but it IS possible. Good luck.

Yes its possible! Sperm can live 5-7 days inside you near ovulation because of your fertile CM. I'm not sure how common it is but don't lose hope. It can happen.

Thats right NEVER lose hope! The body is completely mysterious. No one can predict what a body will do hence the reason we are all unique :) Stranger things have happened right ??/ I have researched many times how long sperm can live and as far as I can read they possibly can live up to five days in the proper conditions. Therefore say maybe you possibly ovulated a little bit earlier than you thought and it really only does take ONE swimmer to win the gold sooooooooooo...there always is a little hope :) I also did read that spermies destined to be female have a longer life span lol so maybe you had a little girl swimmer that made it those 5/6 days ;) Good luck hope it works out and if not you are still alive breathing for the next time round!!!

Thank you very much everyone for your helpfull answers, I will keep my fingers crossed, and indeed next month we can try again if we need to. I wish everyone good luck who are TTC and anyone who is PG to have a healthy pregnancy. :)

Im mother to 1o babies (natural pregnancies, very possible ,) 5 is consider a long sperm life..but knew someone who got preg in my class 8 days out(before ) ovulation! YES, besides many women get pregnant on days leading upto Ovulatin! GL

This is old but I am currently pregnant from sex SEVEN days before O. And yes I'm sure it's correct.
