The only time that you can get pregnant
are during your most fertile days right
around the time of ovulation. Ovulation
usually occurs 12-16 days before your next
period. And fertilization takes around 10
days, and sometimes the pregnancy hormone
takes even longer to build up enough to
get a positive result. So basically you
can't really tell right away after having
sex - it's going to take a while for
fertilization, etc. I got a great book
called "Taking Charge of Your Fertility" -
sounds cheesy, I know, but my husband and
I have been trying for about 11 months now
and it had some really useful info in
there. Good luck!
