If you had sex six days before ovulation can you still get pregnant?  Iam sixteen, what are the chances I might be?

Hi Kelsey,

With ANY sexual contact there is a chance of pregnancy.

Normally sperm can only survive about 5 days so you wouldn't have yet ovulated before they weren't viable.

How did you calculate your ovulation date?

I used an app and I put the date of my last period and it showed me when iam supposed to ovulate but I hear that you can ovulate at anytime .

Forget the app.

When was your last period?

If your last period started on 29 September and seemed "normal," as in like all your other periods, you are not pregnant.

When did you have sex?

You will not ovulate until sometime between 10 October and 15 October.

OK,

So you had sex on day 8 of your cycle. Day 1 is when your period starts. Sperm can survive up to about 5 days. If you ovulate early then there is a chance of pregnancy.

Is the chance high?
And what ways can I tell if I ovulated ?
And if iam how can I break it to my mother?
THANK YOU SO MUCH !

There are ovulation test kits that you can buy. Other ways include monitoring your body temperature but you need to monitor your cycle for a few cycles.

Even at best the odds are about 1 in 5 of getting pregnant. So, there is no guarantee. Don't panic. Wait the 2 weeks and test. Worrying can make you "think" that you are pregnant.

Don't worry about the parents until IF you have to.
