Can you get pregnant if had protected sex 3days before ovulation?

It is unlikely but possible to get pregnant if you had protected sex three days before ovulation.

Ovulation typically occurs 14 days before the start of your next period. Sperm can live inside the female reproductive tract for up to five days, so if you had sex three days before ovulation, it is possible that the sperm could still be present and fertilize an egg. However, the chances of this happening are relatively low.

Additionally, if you used protection, such as a condom, during sex, this would further reduce the risk of pregnancy. Condoms are very effective at preventing pregnancy when used correctly and consistently.

If you are concerned about the possibility of pregnancy, you can take a pregnancy test. Pregnancy tests can detect the presence of the pregnancy hormone, human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG), in your urine or blood. Pregnancy tests are most accurate when taken at least one week after your missed period.

If you are sexually active and do not want to become pregnant, it is important to use protection every time you have sex. There are a variety of methods of contraception available, so you can choose one that is right for you.
