Has anyone gotten pregnant with sex 5 days before ovulation?

Question

I know it’s technically possible but has anyone actually verified by OPKs?

Answer

Remember sperm lives inside for up to 5 days.. and I’m sure couples who are TTC would have sex days prior and after ovulation which makes it hard to tell exactly ‘ if pregnancy occurred 5 days before O’ again because sperm can survive up to 5 days!

Answer

OPKs don’t confirm or verify ovulation. The only way to confirm is through BBT or ultrasound. OPKs / LH tests only confirm that a surge was detected, but you can have a surge and not ovulate, or have a negative test and still ovulate.
I’m part of a group on Facebook that uses Natural Cycles (BBT based birth control app) and there are women there who had risky sex five days before ovulation and got pregnant (while avoiding pregnancy as well as trying). It’s definitely possible.
