Can Pregnancy Happen With Intercourse Near Ovulation Day?

I am waiting on a period and nothing yet and a few days late. We had sex on the day after ovulation and could possibly be pregnant. The days leading up to ovualtion are the worst if you do not want to become pregnant that is, correct? How high are the chances the day after? I have 3 children already so I keep pushing off the testing as I tell myself I am not. So out of curiousity is the few days after ovualtion not a good idea either for the future?

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

It is rightly said by you that it is not a good idea as the chances of getting pregnant are quite high if you have sex near the ovulation period.

So, it is better to practice safe sex during that period if you don’t want to get pregnant.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Ramchandra Lamba
