Do you only have to have sex the day you ovulate to get pregnant?

Question

Is this true?

Answer

It helps to understand the science behind it. Once you ovulate, the egg is only viable for 12-24 hours. So sperm need to reach the egg in that time frame in order to fertilize the egg. Sperm can live for up to 5 days in healthy fluids but on average they live for 2 days. That's why you increase your chances by having sex the day before, of, and after your predicted ovulation date. From there after fertilization it can take up to 7 days for implantation to occur
