Answer 1

Life of sperm is upto 72 hours and of ovum 24 hours. There are some symptoms during ovulation but that is too mild and one cannot feel it until a temperature chart is maintained. If you had sexual act on 15th and ovulation has been on 16th certainly there is a chance of pregnancy.

Answer 2

The Depo is very unpredictable...and depends on the woman. It can take up to a year after the depo in order to get pergnant

Answer 3

ovulation doesn't always take place on the same day of the cycle, even for women who have a regular one. so it is possible that you ovulated earlier. are you aware of tracking ovulation by checking the cervical mucus? do you remember whether you felt "dry" right before getting sexually aroused, or whether you felt moist or wet. that could be an indication.

it is true that sperm can live for up to 72 hours, but for this to happen, it has to find the "right" environment, that is, fertile cervical mucus where it can stay put and wait for the egg (ovulation). if you think that you were dry on the 10th, 11th, 12th then the possibility of being pregnant are remote.
