I was going to post this in the fertility
section, but the people here seemed nice.
i don't know much about fertility and
getting pregnant for the first time. But
I figured I would see if anyone might be
able to shed some light on my situation
for me.
I ovulated tuesday, sept. 7th. My
husband and I had sex thursday, saturday,
and sunday and he ejaculated in me all
three times. We had sex again tuesday but
he didn't ejaculate in me. (sorry if this
is a bit too much info, but I figured
women trying to get pregnant will
understand! )
nobody in my family has ever had problems
trying to conceive. In fact, my mother
and sister seemed to be very fertile, both
becoming pregnant very early in their
marriages. My periods have always been
like clockwork. I've not been on the pill
for a year.
Now, my question is: what do you think the
odds are that my husband and I could have
conceived this week?
Thanks for any help you guys can give! We
appreciate it much!! :d

If a healthy couple have sex during the
peak fertility window, they have about a
20-25% chance of conceiving that month.
Odds are you'll conceive within a year,
probably sooner, if you keep doing what
you're doing, assuming you're both
healthy.
I was lucky enough to conceive our first
month of trying. And I did it doing
exactly what you did.
Good luck!

I think it would be great if it happened
our first month! We've only been flirting
with the idea for a short while now. I'm
not even sure if my husband knows that i'm
really trying here! I'm so excited to
start our family, though! It's a
terrifying thought, but wonderful at the
same time. There's all the worry of how
we'll afford it and all the other concerns
surrounding having children. But it just
seems so worth it to me...
I've been reading through a lot of the
forums, and all the people here seem so
kind and supportive! It's really great to
get connected with women going through the
same things as I am!

So then the earliest I could test would be
around the 20th, right?

You *could* take an early detection test,
such as .First .Response or .E.P.T, but
honestly even if you test early, it could
give you a false negative. I personally
didn't test positive until the day my
period was due.
I think the earliest you can test is four
days before you're due to have your
period, but I would personally recommend
waiting until it is due. I had two false
negatives before I got my positive.
Just friendly advice.

read all the posts in that thread as it
will tell you about when you are most
likely to be fertile, when to test and
more besides.
