Ok I have been on fertility meds, Clomid and Metformin. The doctor last Sunday said that he saw fluid behind my ovaries, thinking that I ovulated that Friday. The last time I had sex that week was on Tuesday. Could I still be prego, even thought I didnt have sex when fertile. Another question I could swear I ovulated on Sunday (the day I had fluid) becuase my cervical mucus was snotty and thick.

Yes, you can still be pregnant. Sperm can live in your for 3-5 days and sometimes even as long as 7, so even though you didn't have sex when you ovulated, there's a high chance that sperm was there when ovulation occured.

In the proper environment, such as the female reproductive tract beyond the cervix, sperm have a life-span of up to five days. In other environments, such as the vagina, sperm live only a few hours and even less than that outside the human body, exposed to the open air. The egg, on the other hand, has a life-span of only about twenty-four hours from the time it bursts from the ovary. So, fertilization can occur anytime live sperm meet up with a live egg, which can happen even if the sperm are deposited up to five days in advance of ovulation.
As for cervical mucus:
Before Ovulation (low chance of pregnancy):
The first few days following menstruation, there will be little or no discharge present. You will feel dryness around your vulva. During this time, chances of getting pregnant are low.
Approaching Ovulation (chance of pregnancy):
The first discharge that does appear should be moist or sticky and should be white or cream in color. In the finger test, the mucus should break easily. You will only be able to pull your fingers about 1 cm apart before it breaks. During this transition time, first the mucus will become cloudy and slightly stretchy during the finger test (this means that it will still break before the fingers are stretched all the way). As time progresses, the mucus will become greater in volume.
Right around ovulation (high chance of pregnancy):
At this stage, mucus resembles egg whites. It is the thinnest, clearest and most abundant at this point in the cycle. Finger testing will allow the mucus to stretch quite a ways (several centimeters) before it breaks (if it breaks at all). ) The amount of this thin mucus will steadily increase until you experience your 'mucus peak'. This is the last day of this period where the chance of conception is high. It is closely tied to ovulation. During this phase, the sperm's survival rate is higher. It can survive in cervical mucus for up to 72 hours, a significantly longer time than during the rest of the cycle.

If you did not have sex when you ovulated, then your chances of being pregnant this month are slim. It can always happen, if you do it within days of ovulation, the sperm can survive up to 48 hours in the women. Good luck.
