It depends on how long your entire cycle is. Ovulation usually occurs around the middle of your cycle, so for example if you have a 28 day cycle, you ovulate around the 14th day. While the egg is only viable for 24 hours once it is released by the ovary, sperm can live for up to 5 days once ejaculated. So your best bet for pregnancy is to have sex 5 days or less before you ovulate, up until 24 hours after you ovulate. Your best bet is to track your cycles, so you know when you ovulate. There are many ways to track your cycle including noting cervical mucus, measuring basal temp, using an ovulation test kit, using an ovulation microscope, or using a combination of these methods. There is also software out there that you can use to track your cycles and your data, and it will let you know when you are ovulating and the best time to have sex.

approximately 14 days after your first day of your last period. so if youre period started on july 14, around the 28th...but i would start trying maybe around the 23rd, and keep trying until the 30th because ovulation can be anywhere in there.
you can also buy an ovulation predictor from the store and those sometimes help. also, you can measure your basal body temperature for a month...when your basal body temperature is higher, you are ovulating. for example, take your body temp for a month, first thing in the AM. if you notice that for the most part you run 98 degrees, and all of a sudden, youre running 98.9 degrees, you may be ovulating and it is a good time to try conceiving.
look up information on 'ovulation and body temperature' on google and theres info there.

Lady in red has it all wrong. You most fertile days start around 10 days after the beginning of your period, with ovulation occurring around day 14, and it may extend to day 17. These are also the day to avoid sex if you are trying to avoid getting pregnant. There is a home kit to help you determine when you are most fertile; ask your pharmacist.

July 26th, - 12 days after the start of menstration.
Also, the day you ovulate (see above), there should be a spike in your body temperature. That can take care of individual time fluctuations

a few days before the first of august. You should be ovulating 14 days after your perios. But you have to start before the 14 days, like 2 days before and try to do it to the 16th day. You will be successful if you try two days before and two days after because we are not 100 % sure when you ovulate, just count 14 days and try 2 days before and two days after that day.

It depends on the length of your cycle. If it is regular it will be easy to determine the time you ovulate and this is the best time to conceive. You ovulate 2 weeks before you start your period.

It is usually 14 days after the first day of your last period.
2 days before 2 days after is wrong!

From what I know, you're most likely to get pregnant 10-14 days after the first day of your period. Around the 24th-the 29th for you. I'm not certain, but if you had intercourse every other day, you're pretty likely to hit it right. :)
Good luck and have fun trying. ;)
