Am I Too Late Into My Cycle to Be Fertile? Posted: 08-16-05 22:45pm
I started my last period on july 21. My
periods are never the same. Sometimes I
could only go 27 days and sometimes I
could go 35. So my husband and I had sex
on the 12th of this month and we decided
that we are ttc now. He came inside me,
and we hadn't had sex in a week and he
hadn't masturbated, so his sperm count
should have been pretty high. We also
had sex in the afternoon. Could I be
fertile this late in my cycle since my
periods are never the same? Also, if I
did concieve, would I miss my period his
month or would it be next month? Sorry
if this is stupid questions but im new to
the fertility information! Thanks for any
info :) wish us luck :)

I gotta say that masterbation has nothing
to do w/ sperm count, he actually could
have had 'older' sperm in the semen that
wouldn't have lasted very long. Other
than that, if your cycles aren't perfectly
regular you're probably not too late in
your cycle. We are ttc and all I can say
is good luck to you

Actually I do think it may have been too
late in your cycle. Masturbation has
everything to do with sperm count... So
it was good that he hadn't done it before
having sex with you. In order to get the
best swimmers, you don't want to have sex
or have your husband masturbate in the
days leading up to your most fertile days.
And when you're most fertile, only have
sex everyother day to give time to
re-build a good sperm count.
Also, you could try ovulation predictor
kits to find out your most fertile days.
Good luck!!
