The ovulation occurs fourteen days before the start of the next period. The length of the period does not count. If you start your next period on February 27th as predicted, then you have ovulated on February 13th. Since you had an intercourse that day, you might have conceived. You might want to use home pregnancy test to check for pregnancy or visit your gynecologist.
