Default Could conception have occured?

I'm really hoping there is a simple answer for this.
DH aren't TTC, but we had a little oopsie the other night I ovulated today and our oopsie was on Thursday night. So my question is, how long can sperm survive? Could conception have occured, or are there too many days in between? You'd think after 2 kids I would know this

I guess we'll see in about 3 or 4 weeks time. I think I'll have to pick Heath up off the floor if I am though LOL
mbear - that gives me hope that you can conceive a boy in situations like these!

Its been racking my brain these past few days..
im not charting my cycle or anything.Normally AF visits regularly.. anywho im not trying to concieve atm as ive only been with my boyf for 4mnths.... my last period was 14th oct -20th oct. anyway me and my boyf DTD on the 23rd (i think) and again on the 31st. so im not sure when i ovulated as ive never kept track of temp, mucus etc.. anyway lately ive noticed my nipples are abit darker then they normally are.. which is strange. and my boobs are sore and heavy, lower back pain, feeling like i need to cry at the most random times like at work, umm needing to pee a few more times than normal.. all this could be just period like stuff, im due to get a visit from AF next tuesday. so i shall wait and see if she visits.....

any help on knowing exactly when you ovulated would be great

*ali*, retrogal & chikababy - good luck with finding out in the next couple of days/weeks.

I've told dh that it could be possible and he doesn't seem too fazed about it. Time will tell I suppose.

Just did a POAS, and it come up with a positive straight away Told DH and he was more interested in the fact that it was a digital one that actually said the word 'positive' on it I reeeeeeally need a drink for this to settle in. I think I'm gonna have to settle with a cup of tea though.

ETA: please keep this off fb, it hasn't sunk in yet.
