Well, last night my husband and I had sex but I think that I am ovualting today and I am really not in the mood to do anything to night, will I still get pregnant from having sex last night? Or should I have sex tonight just in case?

It is very possible to get pregnant from having sex the day before ovulation. In fact, fertility experts recommend that timing. The sperm needs time to swim quite a long way. :-)
Ideally, as long as there are no issues with sperm count or motility, it would be best to have sex again today, but not necessary. If there is an issue with sperm count, then skip today and do it again tomorrow so that your husband has time to rebuild his supply.

Sperm can live for up to 48 hours after....so while having sex again tonight will increase the volume of sperm and stands to reason your chances....last nights activities still have plenty of potential to do the trick. Do you and your partner a favor and don't make making love a chore. If you don't want to tonight...don't. Cuddle and watch a movie instead.

Okay, my advice is to have sex tomorrow -- morning preferably. Then again the following evening. I have four kids, all planned, and each of them I timed just right to get pregnant. I know sex in the morning isn't always easy, but this is probably the best time for you. Everyone is different, though! Good Luck! Oh! And, just so you know, if you look up the Chinese Birth Calendar online, you can plan the baby's gender, in most cases. It was correct with all four of mine!!

depends on how badly you want a baby. if you have sex tonight it will increase your chances because there will be more sperm in your uterus. but you can get pregnant off of sperm from last night, if you've ovulated today. If you really really want to get preg and you don't have sex tonight your gonna wonder if that would have made a diff if you don't end up preg this cycle.

It can happen! Sperm last for up to 3 days (inside of you). Now if you are trying to have a baby, I was told (because I'm trying myself) that having sex on a regular basis, meaning everyday, would LOWER your chances of conceiving. If you are trying, do it every other day...or even skip 2 days in between. Now, if you're not..then you should be using a condom or obviously not having sex around your ovulation period.

You could get pregnant sperm can last 3-6days. If you still want to make sure you can have sex tonight but I wouldnt force it is that is not what you want. You want to be relaxed and comfortable so that it is easier to get pregnant. You dont want to do it just because you feel obligated to do it.

Yes you can get pregnant from last night's "event", sperm live in the reproductive tract for up to 72 hours. ( I underwent extensive infertility treatment to have my babies, so I know this!!!) My doctor told my husband and I to have intercourse every other day.

Sperm can live for 72 hours and you should have sex every other night if you are ovulating so you can let his sperm count increase. Good luck!

You can. Sperm don't die that soon. But I would do it just because you love your man. Not just to get pregnant. Or it will never happen. Good luck and baby dust

I think sperm can die after 48 hours but who knows maybe he'll get you in the mood!
