Ask Pregnancy Question

After reading and answering some posts, just recently, that were related to pregnancy, I started thinking about something and have managed to confuse myself.

I know it is possible to get pregnant *anytime* during your cycle and that your best chances are around ovulation…*but* since the egg only lives for up to 48 hours after ovulation, how *could* it be possible to get pregnant afterwards? Does that make sense? It would seem that there wouldn’t be a viable egg after that point so how is it that women can still get pregnant even the day before the start of their period if they had already experienced all of the signs of ovulation, including using prediction kits, almost 2 weeks prior?

I am not trying to conceive. I am just trying to understand it logically, I guess. It seems to me that once that egg didn’t survive, chances of pregnancy for the rest of that month should be over. I am so confused. :-S

Thanks!
