Q: Pregnancy And Ovulation
asked by: Jay061276 on October 12th, 2003

I posted a topic about 4 days ago about me and my girlfriend having unprotected sex and being concerned about her being pregnant. I think I understand a womans period and ovulation a little better but I still had a question. We had unprotected sex on oct. 4th. She called me on oct. 7th and said she had her usual period. If women ovulate 14 days prior to their cycle and thats when their most fertile what does it mean if we had unprotected sex 3 days before her cycle and she had her regular cycle as usual? How long is that fertile period if she ovulates 2 weeks before her cycle? Someone please help.

Dear jay,

if you had sex with your partner on the oct. 4th and she had her normal period on oct. 7th, there is no need for you to worry. She is not pregnant. You had intercourse 3 days before her period, therefore it would have been highly unlikely that she would have been fertile on that day. A woman is usually fertile 14 days before her period is due, and she will usually be fertile for about 3 days at the most. Just remember it is possible for a woman to become pregnant at any time of the month, as no woman ovualtes at the same time. 14 days before a period is just a system we go by as that is the "most likely" time of fertility. So use contraception at all times.

Take care...
