On approximately the first of oct I had
taken a morning after pill, which
completely altered my period, which had
just happened previously on the 22nd of
september. The morning after pill caused
me to get a period on the 7th. This
should have caused my ovulation date to be
around the 20th of october, give or take a
few days. Recently, we have decided to
try, and I was just wondering if my
ovulaiton date will be affected due to
this morning after pill, and if not, can
one concieve after an ovulation date. If
anyone could help that would be awesome.
Thanks!

I would guess that you can count an
induced period like a regualar and count
from there. I know that the egg hangs out
for like 48 hours un the womb too, and
sperm can live up to 5 days. So in a
regular cycle you have like 7 days you
could get pregnant.

I have to be really honest and ask why you
took the morning after pill and now are
trying to conceive a month later? I don't
know you at all, and i'm trying not to
offend you, but maybe you're not ready to
have baby? It sounds like "oops we made a
mistake, I need a quick fix"...30 days
later "let's have a baby..."
please help me understand where you're
at.
As far as ovulation goes, you can't count
the days after your period until you
ovulate. It is usually different by about
a day every cycle, and different for every
person. My husband and I use natural
family planning which is a way to know
when you are ovulating so if you want to
get pregnant, you have sex during your
fertile days, and when you don't want to
get pregnant you just don't have sex
during that time.
It is very easy despite what most people
say. And most people who say it's
confusing or not worth it haven't actually
tried it. I have two married friends that
I have taught how to do it and they both
struggled during the first month because
they were not used to checking the three
symptoms that you body gives every month
to show you are ovulating. I encouraged
them to try it for a second month because
then you will have the first month to
compare it with and they both have stuck
with it ever since. The first month is
just getting used to it combined with
worry that you're not doing it right (even
if you are). But it is well worth it.
It's free, it takes two minutes a day and
it's as effective as birth control.
The morning after pill altered your period
because it forced you to shed the lining
of your uterus and the fetus
(abortifacient). Your hormones will be
out of whack for a while, I am assuming.
If you want to learn how to know when you
are ovulating, just let me know and we can
start a natural family planning "how to"
thread.

No im glad you were honest, it does seem
weird. We havent been together that
long but I cant be without him and we are
both at a place where we can properly
raise a child. Also, there is a
condition that is heriditary in my family
which causes the ovaries to be removed at
a very early age...Im not sure exactly
what its called, but if I can get pregnant
now, i'll have my chance to be a mom
before I lose the opportunity too. As
far as your thread, i'd be very interested
:d.
