This is a great question. The egg is released after ovulation and remains in the Fallopian tube for a few days. If sperm are present the egg is fertilized and normally implants in the uterus. Semen can be present for up to 5 days. So one could theoretically get pregnant if they had intercourse 3-5 days ago and then ovulated.
