Q: Ovulating Question. Best Time?
asked by: al_x_andra on August 1st, 2006

I'm trying to get pregnant right..So my last period was on july 15 and it was the regular 5 days and I have a regular cycle of 28 days. I went online and looked up an ovulation calculator and I was supposed to ovulate on the 25th july to the 30th. Me and my fiance started having unprotected sex on the 22nd and did it about twice a day up until today. Are my chances good of getting pregnant? Or is there still a chance I could still get pregnant if I keep having sex up until my next period which is due on aug 13? Can you get pregnant during the time of when I stopped ovulating on the 30th up until my period? Or is there no chance of concieving during then?

Kim12345, I use the yourdays.Com ovulation calendar. It's really simple, and for me it's been extremely accurate.

Al_x_andra, sorry, i'm really not sure about the answers to your questions. I've heard different things from different people, so i'm not sure. Sorry.

Unless you chart and temp, you wouldn't know exactly when you would ovulate. An online calculator is only an estimate on when you should ovulate based on other women. Everyone is different.

What is the harm in continuing to have sex? Remember, getting pregnant is supposed to be fun!

Good luck!

Yeah unless you chart you will not know exactly when you ovulate. Also once the egg drops you only have about 24 hours after that, so still having sex a few days later wont help - but hey it's all fun!

let me clarify something! You don't ovulate for 5 days. You ovulate one day of any of the possible 5 days they stated. Your chances of pregnancy during your "fertile time" for a healthy couple is about 20-25% each months. It can take upto 6 months for some! With a 28 day cycle you are more likely to ovulate on day 14 of your cycle( day 1 being 1st day of your period). And no , you cannot get pregnant once you have passed your fertile pahse because there is no egg to fertilize and your cervix is closed for sperm to enter.
