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!

About twelve days after the start of your period
Day 1-4 period (adjust if you have shorter or longer)
Day 5-6 infertile
Day 7-14 Fertile with day 12 most likey being your ovulation day.
Day 15-28 infertile

If planning for a baby just relax start taking prenatal-vitamins and check the ovulation calculator to see when your most fertile go to
www.kaiserpermanente.org and in the search button type in, Ovulation Calculator and type in the first day of your last MP and it should give you your most fertile days.

Subtract 12 days and 16 days from the date of when your next period is due to determine when you are likely to ovulate, most women ovulate 12-16 before each period and you want to be doing the baby dance at least every other day and on the day of ovulation, for 3 days before and 1 day after you ovulate for the best chance of conceiving.

Count from day one of your period, then on days 10-15 have intercourse. Most of the time you will end up getting pregnant. This is your most fertile time. It worked for me on both of my pregnancies. Good Luck!

7 days after the last day of your period is most likely your most fertile day
