Tracking Your Most Fertile Days. Generally, the highest chance of pregnancy is when sex happens1-2 days before ovulation. If you have a regular 28-day cycle, count back 14 days from when you expect your next period to start. Plan on having sex every other day around that time -- say, days 12 and 14.
When you have sex, sperm are released up into the uterus and Fallopian tube. If you happen to have sex on the same day as you have ovulates, then you could get pregnant the same day. But if you don't ovulate the same day you have sex, sperm can live for up to three days (some day even longer!).
