How Am I Able to Know If I Can Get Pregnant Posted: 01-19-04 10:47am
If the first day of my last period was jan
10th is it possible to get pregnant if I
had sex on jan 17th? Or is it too soon
after my period? And when would be my
most fertile time? Help

might be a bit early...Try again on the
22th or 23th...Good luck

I try to stick too a every other day sex
regimen. The doctor says that in many
circumstances the egg will not flush with
a period and will drop right down after
you stop your period becoming fertilized
with intercourse. So my husband and I
are trying to make love every other day.
More if we are in the mood. You just
have to think of ttc as sensual and sexy
and not a chore because you will be happy
and pleased while your trying for your
baby. You being turned on also
increases your chances of conceiving
because you naturally produced more
lubricant making it easier for the sperm
to reach the egg. So I wouldn't try to
predict when the perfect chance is...I
would just have fun in bed and if you get
pregant while having magnificiant love the
more better it is for you. But on the
other side it is good to always know and
watch your body so do both and have fun
doing it.
Good luck!!

The first question one would have to ask
is how long are your cycles? The second
would be when do you ovulate?
Not all women have 28 day cycles and/or
ovulate on day 14. It's very important
to determine when ovulation takes place
as, not only will you know how to time
intercourse, but you can determine if you
have a luteal phase defect which can
severly interfere with your ability to
become pregnant.
You may have a 28 day cycle but ovulate on
day 20 leaving an 8 day luteal phase which
would make implantation impossible.
See what I mean?
Remember that the egg only lasts for 8 to
24 hours, fertilization occurs in the
fallopian tube not the uterus and it takes
7 to 10 days after conception for
implantation to take place, so all these
are important factors to realize when
trying to determine your fertility.
In addition, sperm can live in fertile
quality cervical fluid for up to 7
days(max) so, assuming your cycles are
bang-on normal, you could possibly end up
pregnant having sex 7 days before
ovulation but, honestly, it's not likely.
You should learn the fertility awareness
method (see, taking charge of your
fertility by toni weschler). This, while
somewhat time consuming, should give you a
clear idea of what your body is doing from
month to month.
