No. Before ovulation, the egg is simply a skin cell in the ovary. It is only once the egg ripens and is released (ovulation) that it can be fertilised. It must be fertilised within 48 (some say 24) hours of being released....

Do you have to have a recent period to get pregnant?
No a menstrual cycle only happens AFTER you didnt become pregnant. If no egg was fertilized or implanted into the uterine lining, then u have a period. The uterus expels the lining and begins preparing for ovulation again. Which includes building up the uterine lining again, and hormones cause an egg to be released. If the egg is fertilized it will implant and u will not have a period, likewise if it isn't fertilized then it will pass out and be followed a week or so later with your cycle beginning again.
Can a woman get pregnant on the day of ovulation?
Ovulation is a one day thing. To get pregnant you need to have sperm inside of your body waiting for the egg or you need to have sex the day of ovulation and at the latest the day after ovulation to become pregnant. Keep in mind sperm can live 3-5 days in ideal conditions inside of the woman's body. However, once the egg is released (ovulation occurs) the egg is only able to be fertilized for upto 24-36 hours and then expires. To become pregnant your best bet is to have sex the day before ovulation, the day of ovulation, and the day after ovulation. You are, however, considered fertile up to 4-5 days before ovulation occurs...due to the fact that sperm can survive in the reproductive organs of a woman for a few days.
