Question

i started my period on the 1st and i did have sex on the 15th!! whats my chances of getting pregnant?

Answer 1

your chances that you are pregnant are pretty good because you should have sex 14-16 days after your period if you are planning for a baby. now i don't want you to get your hopes up too high though because you may not be. my husband and i tried for 8 months to get pregnant with our first and always during the ovulation period. just wait about another 2 and see if you start your period. well i hope everything works out for you in your favor. good luck!!

Answer 2

I've studied midwifery for many years. The medical data is that the time between ovulation and menstruation is very set and regular-seems to be 14-15 days for every woman. But the time from menstruation to ovulation is quite variable, and depends on many things: regularity of periods, length of time between periods, stress levels, dietary and herbal considerations (for example, ginger can bring on a period a few days early, because it affects certain hormone levels).

So there isn't a good way to depend strictly on timing from the beginning of the last period.

A couple of good ways to tell if you are ovulating:
-vaginal mucous changes to clear, more copious, and "stringy", meaning if you put some between two fingers and pull the fingers apart, it will stretch between them. Non-ovulation times will have mucous that is thicker and sticky/tacky. There is a good biological reason for this. If you have released a fertile egg, your body wants to get pregnant. Stringiness of the mucous gives a better path for sperm to swim up.
-temperature will rise a tiny amount and stay that way. You can get a basal body temperature thermometer from a number of pregnancy oriented websites. You need to check your temp with it before you get up each morning and become active. The thermometer will measure small increments.

-you may feel something called "mittleschmertz" when you release an egg. It literally means "middle pain". It's like a short, sharp cramp that lasts only a few seconds usually, right where your ovaries would be-either lower left or lower right abdomen.

Remember, sperm survive 3-5 days, and the egg will stay vital for at least a few days as well, so you must become familiar with your ovulation timing by keeping a log of the above signs for at least a few months before you can reasonably know about when you might be in a fertile time for you and a partner.

Answer 3

There was a study that I saw on Discovery. They said that they found that women ovalate more than once a month. So, just keep doing it if you want a baby. The most important thing to remember is that it takes about 24 hours for the sperm to enter the egg, so take that into consideration.
