Can I Get Pregnant By Unprotected Sex Before Ovulation?

I have a question regarding unprotected sex and ovulation. I was told ovulation can happen roughly around 13-15 days after the first day of a period. If I had unprotected sex 11 days after, could I get pregnant? Would an emergency contraceptive help if taken hours after unprotected sex?

Hi, I think you can get pregnant. So, if you have taken emergency pill, it will prevent the pregnancy. Chances of failure with emergency pill is rare. So, if you don't get your periods in time, do a urine pregnancy test. Hope I have answered your question.
