Can you get pregnant within a 5 day span?

If you have sex on May10th and find out ur preggo on May15th is it possible u got pregnant may10th?

Pretty much no chance. Implantation doesn't occur until about 7 days post ovulation and a pregnancy test won't show up positive until after implantation. Even at 9 days post ovulation a positive is extremely faint or it's still too soon.

Probably not. It is very unlikely that you would get a positive pregnancy test 5 days past ovulation. The period a woman is fertile a few days before and the day of ovulation. Fertilization still always occurs on the day of ovulation. The earliest I've heard of a positive pregnancy test is 8 days past ovulation and those are usually faint. Was the positive a faint one? Could it be an evaporation line (false positive)? When was the first day of your last period? Why did you test on the 15th?

my period started around the 14th of april and ended around the 18th. i broke up with my boyfriend around april25th...and i had sex may10th.....not with my boyfriend (dont judge me) and the condom broke. so i took one today becuz i normally get my period around this time and i felt like i should just take one. me and my boyfriend had sex all the time before we broke up. during my period and after as well. i just want tomake sure this is not the other persons child b4 i tell my boyfriend. its drama i know.....but its life. thanks for responding

and the positive was very positive. not faint at all

Sounds like it happened before then 10th then. You probably ovulated around April 28th (give or take a few days), but sperm could have remained in your system from a few days before that or you could have ovulated earlier. Very unlikely to have a clearly positive test 5 days past ovulation.

Completely agree!
