You could possibly conceive, but the chances of you getting pregnant are more likely to happen if you have intercourse before you ovulate. Sperm can live in the female for up to 2-3 days after intercourse, so if you have sex several days before ovulation it is very possible to get pregnant. Your chances of getting pregnant are greatly reduced after you ovulate if there are no sperm present from earlier intercourse. There is only about a 12-24 hour window of opportunity for the egg to be fertilized. Then, of course, it must implant, etc. for pregnancy to occur. Hope this helps.

You can get pregnant at ANY time during your cycle, but ovulation is the most risky part of your cycle. I, too, get the ovulation pains. You cannot know for sure what day you ovulated (even with those test kits, as they measure when your ovulation hormones are at their highest, not if an egg has been released from your ovary), so if you regularly have ovulation pains and if your ovulation test indicates that ovulation hormones are at their peak, then you are most likely near ovulation or ovulating. Normally you get that ovulation pain when the egg itself is released from the ovary, as it breaks out of its follicle, thus causing the pain (and in some women, a slight bleeding, one or two drips of blood). The only way you can tell for sure if you conceived is to wait until about 2-3 days before your period to take a sensitive pregnancy test (First Response or Clearblue) or to wait until you miss your period and take a conventional pregnancy test. Hope this helps.
