    If you did indeed ovulate on the 3rd, chances are very slim that you got pregnant on the 9th. The ovum (unfertilized egg) is only viable for fertilization approximately 24 hours after being released from the ovary.

    It can take as long as a year of actively trying before becoming pregnant. Now, some women get pregnant earlier than that, I'm just giving you an average.

    It's best to start "practicing" a few days before ovulation is expected as the sperm lives in the woman's body for up to five days.
