My boyfriend and I had unprotected sex
last night, which is 2 days before im
supposed to start ovulating. I didn't
realize that at the time, and now i'm
wondering, what are my chances of getting
pregnant? I would appreciate any help!

Sperm can live for up to 7days once inside
the female body ( past the cervix, not in
the vagina. It's usually around 3days
though) so there is, obviously, a chance
that sperm will still be present when you
ovulate.
A "normal" couple have between around 17%
- 25% conceiving each cycle so i'd guess
your chances would be around that.
(to maximise your chances it's suggested
you have sex the day before and the day of
ovulation because these are your most
fertile days during a usual cycle - you
are more fertile in the few days before
ovulation too because of the fact sperm
can live for days if you know what I
mean).
