    It's pretty unlikely at 6 days prior to ovulation, five or less is the norm, but it does happen.

    With this pregnancy, we dtd (and had an oopsie) only days after af finished, roughly 6 or 7 days before I was due to ovulate. And I fell pg. So yes, I believe it can happen.

    didnt mean to imply it was common, but it does happen. if you're actively TTC, i wouldn't rely on sex 6 days before ovulation to get you pregnant!

    It is not common but is possible, with the pg we also had an ooppsie 5 days before O and I got UTD, so I am guessing if it can live for 5, then in a small percentage of cases they can live for 6

    My DD was 6 days before, I thought we had missed the boat that month but obviously not.

    Another for 5 days before - but not a girl. Or at least the ultrasound person said she saw dangly bits, I'm "only" 35 weeks pregnant I'm also a good argument against fertility dropping over 30 or whatever the stats are, I'm almost 35yo.

    My two girls were both same day and both involved too much alcohol. Oopsie ...
