Is it possible to concieve after ovulation right before your AF?

Yes and no; normally no.
Once you ovulate, the egg can only be fertilised for about 24 hours (some say up to 48 hours). So if you have a 28 day cycle and ovulate in the middle, ie day 14, by the time AF is due at day 28 your egg definitely is not viable anymore. However, if you are not sure that you ovulated, it is possible to get pregnant shortly before you think your next AF is due, when you in fact are having an especially long cycle.

There has also been a number of studies that show quite a few women actually ovulate a second time during their cycle. It's possible, but not likely that you ovulated 2 times in one cycle.

Thank You, I have been eager for someone to respond to that question! I'm not sure if I have ovulated, and my period is so far 3 days late. Do you have any idea as to why you wouldn't ovulate?

You may not have ovulated if you have been under a lot of stress or very ill. There are lots of reasons a women might not ovulate properly once and awhile. Good luck.
