anyone get pregnant from sex 2 days before O and that's it??

this post is just for a little reassurance for me...i know sperm can live for days and it's definitely possible to get pregnant this month still. Here's the deal: we had sex Thursday night around 6, right after i took hubby to the airport to go out of town :( I got my first positive opk Friday and again this morning (Sat). I just wondered how many of you know you got pregnant from sex 2 days before for sure. He's out of town for the week, so I am hoping Thursday was enough...

You're in the prime time...google ovulation calendars.  They're free and tell you what days you're most fertile and what days you can still conceive even though it's not the actual day of ovulation.  GOOD LUCK!  (and I got pregnant from having sex a day or two before ovulation).

I got pregnant this time around 2 days before ovulation.  Only reason I know is because that's the only time we had sex until about a week after ovulation.  Thought we would give it a try and it happened.

I can't take birth control since it gives me really bad leg cramps so I monitor my cycle to know when or when not to have sex

I had sex on CD10 thinking it was ok and I ended up pregnant I know that was the day cuz me and my boyfriend at the time got in an argument and didn't see each other again till after I found out I was pregnant.  

I know it can happen so GOOD LUCK!!  STICKY STICKY BABY DUST TO YOU!!!

You actually have the highest chance of getting pregnant  if you have intercourse 1-2 days BEFORE ovulation

I didnt get preggo that way, but sperm can live up to 3 days, some sites say 5 days if the environment is right. You still have a good chance of getting preggo
