Question

Is it possible?

Is it possible if DH and I had unprotected sex 2 days before a suspected O that we might catch an egg still? I laid with my hips and legs elevated for about 5 min after the last time. He had to work super late though the day before O and last night, so now I'm worried we will be out this month.

They say in optimal conditions that sperm can survive for up to 4-5 days. It is possible.

I've been gushing EWCM for a good 4 days, so I feel like it was a fairly "pleasant" environment for his little swimmers, but you never know. I read an article on a website this morning that actually said the 2 days before ovulation there is a 30% chance, and the day of ovulation actually only has a 12% chance. Seemed sort of backwards, but hey, you never know.

two days before is great as it means theres sperm already waiting as the egg is released, so there could be a good chance, fingers crossed =)
