I agree that 5 days is a long time; HOWEVER (and a big HOWEVER) my hubby
and I had sex on a Sunday and I ovulated the following Thursday (4 full
days) and did get pregnant. Of course I'm so happy now with our
beautiful daughter, but we weren't expecting it so soon after our first
was born (I got pregnant when he was 11 months old).
My point is, yes there is a chance you could be pregnant, albeit a small
one.
