I would guess there'd be a chance but I *think* it would be better if had more opportunity.

Then again, it only takes once!

I Think...
I think you shouldnt just wait until your ovulate to have sex, the more you sexually active the more likely you are to become pregnant. Plus just waiting to your until you ovulate to have sex won't be great for your relationship. Have fun making a baby.

Umm. Well about that.. My husband and I have been trying for a year and have enjoyed sex for quite a while.. Finally we have given up.. But ironically he nuted in me the day or two before and after.. Afterward it occured that maybe this could be it.. I really wanted to know how early one would be able to tell that they are pregnant.. If in deed they can tell without the tests

Ugh nutted and busted big????? Gross. We are adults here you can say he came.

Anyhoo, it is possible that you may get pregnant if you havent' had sex in a while then his sperm had time to regenerate. If you guys have been trying for over a yr, have you gone to see a specialist or anything to find out why nothing is happening???

lol sorry that just cracks me up.

But to answer your question there really is no *for sure* way of knowing unless you test. Lots of women say they just knew but only a test will let you know for sure. Lots of pregnancy symptoms can be confused with pms ones so as hard as it may be just try to be as patient as you can. Good luck.

Well I have just found out that I am pregnant again. And if everything goes well - this will be baby #4 for me. This whole past week or so i've been sleepy in the afternoon & my boobs were sore. I took a test on wed nov 16th, it was neg. My period still never came & my symptoms were getting a little worse. So I took another test sat night. It was positive. The line was faint but it was there. They say that there is enough hcg in urine (about 25 miu) 10 days past conception. Of course all women are different though. I'm not sure when exactly I conceived because my periods have not been regular for about a year.

I would say that you could begin testing around the 26th or 27th. But you might "know" even before that (as I did - even when the test said no)
