Well, once you've ovulated the egg is only fertile for a couple of days, so, if it isnt fertilized around the time of ovulation, you would have to try again next month.

Everyone's cycle is different. There is a myth that woman ovulate 14 days after their period begins...but that is only an AVERAGE and each month can be different. The other thing is that sperm can live inside you for up to 5 days.... so if you are having a shortened cycle one month and you have sex right after your period and you ovulate earlier than day 14 than yes, there is a chance of getting pregnant. The only way to know is to know exactly when you ovulate. There are several ways to know and some are more effective than others. Some can only predict before ovulation happens and some can only predict that is has already happened. The absolute best info I can give you is to go read a book called Taking Charge of your fertility by Toni Weschler. It will help you understand your body and all the myths about it. It will help you time when you are ovulating and the best times to conceive – or not! . It's about knowing your body and knowing when you are fertile or not.
My husband and I tried for 1 year and had no luck..… We tried ovulation predictors , laying with pillows under me for 20 min. everything……the first month that I began using the book I realized that my timing was WRONG!. We got pregnant that very first month and I am now due Feb 2, 2007. You can pick and choose what you do with your info. Good luck and don't listen the all the myths! Even if you don't get into charting and everything....it will help you in so many ways!

You need to have sex a few days before and (for best results) the day OF ovulation in order to have a chance at getting pregnant. The actual conception (implantation) takes place 7-10 days after you ovulate.

if you join a website like www.babyzone.com then you can chart your ovulation and the calendar tells you what days are what and when to try. You usually ovulate (produce egg) 10-14 days after your period and there is one day in that time that you can get pregnant depending on your cycle.
Good luck xx

Intercourse must take place in the few days before or day of ovulation for conception to occur. After you have intercourse and ovulation occurs the egg and sperm meet and it takes 6-12 days for the fertilized egg to make its way to the uterus to implant.
