Hello,
In one way it is difficult to predict now.But yes, it is quiet possible to get pregnant even on 20 th day of cycle.This may happen if ovulation was delayed or as part of normal variation you might be ovulating around 20th day of cycle. Egg can remain viable for two days , so a ovulation on 18 th day can also lead to pregnancy on 20th day. Such pills are often helpful in preventing pregnancy , but there can be failures.
Regards.
