An egg will only live a maximum of 24 hours after ovulation. And it takes the sperm approximately 6 hours to reach the egg. The average egg lives somewhere between 6-12 hours. So, it is not possible to conceive 3 days after ovulation, the egg will be dead and gone by then.

I wish you the best in trying. :)
