Ok so if you are expecting to ovulate on Wednesday ( and you have sex wednesday ) but you wont see your boyfriend until next tuesday, then you stil have a pretty good chance about getting pregnant?

If you ovulated on the same day you had sex, then you are very likely to be pregnant. You should never have unprotected sex during the week you ovulate unless you're trying to get pregnant. I don't understand your question about next Tuesday. If you ovulate this Wednesday, then next week's Tuesday you should be safe... But not the Tuesday right before you ovulate, that would be unsafe. If you have sex on the day you ovulate or near the day you ovulate (such as the day before or after) then you have a very high chance of becoming pregnant.

If you have sex on the day you ovulate, your chances of getting pregnant would be the highest at that point regardless of how long sperm lives and when you see your partner again.

Him being there or not will have no effect on your ovulation. Yes, day 1 is unsafe, as is the day before you ovulate.

If you have sex the day before, maybe even 2 days before, and anytime during the 3 fertile days, and for about 2 days afterwards... that's a total of one week...

That whole week is dangerous!!! Don't have unprotected sex right now, you are very likely of getting pregnant (unless that's your intention...)

I'm a little confused because I think you are trying to get pregnant? I can't tell.
