5 Days before ovulation

[Sarah61086]

Can you get pregnant if you have sex 5 days before you ovulate?
How long does it take for sperm to swim to the fallopean tubes and how long does it survive?

Female sperm lives up to 5-6days but male sperm lives only 2-3days lol i googled the best way to conceive boys or girls and thats what it gave me so if you are pregnant after 5days it'll most likely be a girl:)

I had sex 4 days before ovulation I had sex on the 27thaug and think I ovulated around the 1/2nd of September.could I get pregnant!

Then I also had sex 6 days after ovulation can I be pregnant?

I did have the Fertile CM it was very stretchy on the day i had sex, but it lasted for 5 days and the last day i saw it was 6 days after unprotected sex, which is why i am unsure.

If you did not have Egg White Cervical Mucus your chances of the 5 days is slim.  If you did have the EWCM then it could last for 5 days.

You cant get pregnant per say 5 days before ovulation,but sperm can be present and waiting until you ovulate.whether pregnancy is achieved is a different matter,lots of things happen during the fertilization period.but you do stand a good chance.there is no time limit for how long sperm takes,can take mins to hours.ive posted a usual comic video for women to look at,check it out.good luck..

Also im basing my ovulation on an 11 day leutheal phase which i think im am but cant be 100% sure.
I just feel very emotional and snappy at the moment and i dont normally get pms this bad

Yes, not sure how long it takes them to get to the fallopian tubes, but they can survive up to five days.
