Can you really get pregnant 5 days before ovulation, has this personally happened to you? I find it hard to believe that sperm can stay alive for so long.

  1. you can get pregnant any time at all believe me.


  2. Well, you can't "get pregnant" before ovulation because you haven't ovulated yet, but yes, the sperm can live that long and impregnate the egg when you ovulate 5 days later.

    There has actually been lots of research stating that having s*x 2 to 3 days leading up to ovulation is better than having s*x on the day of or after.

  3. with no protection, u can get pregnant no matter what. use a trojan and u dont have to worry

  4. You can get pregnant at ANY time during your cycle. Ovulation is the best time, however.. sperms can swim. They'll get to their target if they really want to.

  5. You cannot get pregnant five days before ovulation, but you can get pregnant from s***n that was *ahem* introduced five days before your ovulation and conceiving when an egg has been released. Some sperm can live for up to seven days, but this is not the norm and the usual lifespan is about 3-4 days.

    But it only takes one!

    I'm seventeen so I can certainly say that it hasn't happened to me personally, however!

  6. You cannot get pregnant before ovulation.  Ovulation is when your ovaries releases an egg to be fertilized so if you do not have s*x and sperm enter your body then how will the egg be fertilized?  It is true however that sperm can live in your body for up to 5 days.  My OB/GYN told me this and explained it to me.  What can happen is you can have s*x and then 5 days later ovulate and it is at that time that you can get pregnant.  That is of course given that all the sperm did survive and fertilized the egg.

  7. according to a true crime story i was just watching on TLC, sperm can live as long as 5 to 7 days, that is indeed true.

  8. Five days before is pushing it.  Although some girls don't ovulate on the 14th day after the start of there period.  You need to figure out how your cycle is.

  9. oh yeah i totally keeps happening to me. and my mate and this guys from my street too. ovulation my a$$

    oh, yeah, YOU'RE PREGNANT
