From what we learned in physiology, more women ovulate within the day 7-10 range.  Also, sperm stay inside you up to about five days.  If you ovulate during any of those five days, you have a chance.

There are ovulation kits to help you figure out when you ovulate and some people do things such as track their basal body temperature each morning to try to figure out when they ovulate.

There is definitely a chance you could get pregnant from having sex the days you did.  Don't get discouraged if it takes a few months!  Good luck!

Hi there and welcome to the forum.  So, you want a baby, huh?  Yeah.  Babies are a lot of fun (and a bit of work . . .  but worth it.)  Here is how to track a cycle---  Day one of your cycle is the very first day of your period.  You begin counting on that day.  Most women ovulate around day 14 and can get pregnant for 24 to 48 hours.  However, ovulation can happen any time and one doesn't know how long the sperm will hang out to find that egg.  So, my doctors recommend that women begin having sex on day 10 of their cycle and continue to do so every other day for 10 days.  

So, absolutely-----   you've had sex when you could be fertile and yes, you could become pregnant.  

If you aren't this time around, try that method of tracking day one of your period as day one of your cycle and on day 10 of the cycle, begin having sex EVERY OTHER day (builds up sperm count) for 10 days.  Should do the trick.  good luck dear
