Question

Anyone conceive from BD 5 days before ovulation?

Hi everyone! I know from researching that sperm lives inside the female reproductive tract for approximately 3-5 days. However I was wondering if any of you actually conceived from having sex 4-5 days before ovulation?

In my case, my cycles have been longer than usual the past few months (most likely due to stress). I usually ovulate around CD 17. My boyfriend and I were intimate on CD16, which initially I thought was good timing. However, I have been using the ClearBlue Digital OPK tests and did not get the smiley face until CD20. So I assume I ovulated sometime on CD21. Do you guys still think I have a chance this cycle?

We were not able to BD any time between CD16 and CD21 because my boyfriend has been sick. Right now I am assuming that I am out this month because I don't want to get my hopes up.

We have been not trying, not preventing for over a year, but only started actively trying the past couple of months. I'm very interested to hear everyone's experiences.

There is a chance! May be lower, but still a chance. Depends on male factor and female's eggs.
