Can you conceive before you're fertile during the menstrual Posted: 06-28-07 07:16am
Hello, I was wondering if it's possible to
conceive if you have unprotected sex
before your fertile period. My last period
was 6/5/07 and I had it for 4 days. I have
a 29 day cycle and had sex on 6/12/07...
Is it possible to conceive on day 8 of
your cycle????
Lmp: 6/5/07
length of menses: 4 days
29 day cycle
sex: 6/12/07 & 6/19/07 (unprotected)
***any feedback is greatly appreciated and
I want to thank you in advance***

A woman's most fertile window is the time
period from 2 days before ovulation until
2 days after ovulation. Ovulation happens
about 14 days before the next menstrual
period comes. If your cycle lasts about 29
days and your last menstruation started on
the 5th June, it appears ovulation should
occur on the 20th June. This means that
your fertile period was from the18th to
22nd of June. In your case, having sex on
the 12th June (8th day of the cycle)
wouldn’t generally cause conception. If
the cycle last 21-24 days, having sex on
the 8th day could cause conception.
