Could I be pregnant?

I ovulated May 11-16.  I had unprotected sex on the 9th.  Can the sperm survive that long?  Could I be pregnant?

Do you mean you were fertile from May 11-16?  What day did you ovulate on (it's only 1 time)?

Sperm can live about 3-5 days in fertile mucus, so it might be possible depending on your actual ovulation date.

Take a hpt if your period is late.  Good luck!

I was reading some articles from the internet and it said that I would ovulate the week of the 11-16.  How do I find out the specific day?

You can't find out the exact day you O without an ultrasound. And yes sperm can live up to 5 days with fertile cm so you can get pregnant.

You cannot find out after the fact.  I was wondering if you were charting your BBT or using OPK's.

The only thing to do now is wait.  I'm sorry.  The waiting sucks, I know.

Even with an ultrasound, you cannot pinpoint the exact moment of conception. Too many variables exist. You can get a general idea, but nothing definite.
