You can only get pregnant during the apx. 24 hour period during which you ovulate.
However, you can have sex up to five days (some have claimed even a week) before this and still get pregnant, because the sperm can stay alive that long in certain conditions. Sperm life is affected by a number of things, the most important of which is probably the quality of the cervical fluid.
Edit: The tricky thing about ovulation is that, while it usually happens around the same time each month for most people, sometimes it can happen at weird times.

No. "ovulating" refers to the ovaries releasing an egg, and the sperm has to fertilize an egg in order to begin a pregnancy. No egg, no baby.
