Ovulation?? Posted: 09-20-05 13:35pm
Hopefully someone can answer this. I have
had nothing but babies on the brain for
the last 4 months so I have been doing
alot of research on the net about
ovulation and stuff like that. They say
that the egg only lives for 24 hours, but
then the next thing that I come across is
that you can get preg. Anytime during
your cycle, but it is more likely for it
to happen during ovulation. So... How
can you get preg. If your egg only lives
for 24 hours. Would there be nothing
there for the sperm to fertilize?
I'm really confused. I thought I had it
straight, but then all the stuff I read
just confuses me.

Some people with very irregular periods
will ovulate at any point in her cycle.
If your periods are regular, you are
prolly ovulating 14 days before your next
period is due. If you have an average
28 day cycle, have sex daily or at least
every other day from days 10-20 of your
cycle (with first day of period being day
one). Good luck and have fun!

Hi thanks for the reply.
I do understand when ovulation should
occur.. But... I have heard of so many
people getting pregnant when they are not
ovulating??? I just don't understand. Is
it cause they ovulate early/late??
Hmmmm...

or late

Thanks.. I think I got it now. Man, I
feel like I am back in school just
learning about this stuff. Too bad they
don't have a class you can take. My
problem is that I was adopted, so I can't
even get advice from my mom cause she
really has no clue about any of this stuff
either, and my hubby's parents only speak
limited english (we are a bi-racial
couple) I am kinda going through it blind.
Anywho. Thanks for the reply's

I read a study a while ago that said they
think ovulation actually happens many
times throught the cycle instead of the
day 13-15 thing. I don't think they have
done anymore research has been done on it
though, or it wasn't comfirmed, because it
still says day 14 in every book i've
looked in!!

Really??? Wow - that's interesting.
Could be an answer to why so many girls
claim to have conceived when they were not
"ovulating"
