Sperm can live in your body for up to 5 days.. So Say You ovulate on July 6.. You say "Well I'll have sex TODAY, and not have sex again until July 9"..Because an egg will die within 48 hours..
YOU COULD get pregnant because the sperm can live long enough to fertilize an egg.. So although you did not have sex WHILE ovulating, you could still get pregnant..
IF a woman is HAVING a period then she IS ovulating, because that is partially what trigger the bleeding..The egg dies, and there are hormonal changes... If you are unsure whether or not you ovulate, you should consider using a testing kit.
