Urgent Help PLEASE! ovulation&pregnancy.. NEED help!?

Question

Ok this is really important because if an accidental pregnancy happens it will cause serious problems, so i really would appreciate any help on this.. Right basically my last period started around the 11 AUGUST & my period only lasts 4Days. I had s*x on the 19th AUGUST.. From what I've found out my most fertile dates would of been between August the 22nd To AUGUST the 27th.. Is it possible sperm could live/survive in me until the 22nd or after? Could i become pregnant from this? Also if sperm did live and during these ovulation dates i did conceive would i be able to know if or if am not pregnant at the moment? Sorry i just don't know much on the subject and I really need help.. Thanks Loads.

Answer 1

Yes it is very possible for the sperm to live that long. My OB told me to start trying 4 days before ovulation.

Answer 2

You'll need to know how long your normal cycle lasts. Most women have a 28 day cycle. If this is the case, you would have ovulated on or around August 25th, which means you probably can't test for pregnancy until 14 days after ovulation (Sept. 8th).

Sperm can live up to 5 days in a fertile environment. Hope this helps.
