    yes you can!

    the "girl" sperm are strong (we're fighters right from the start!) and can last 5-6 days!

    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
