I have been trying to conceive for 6 months, this month i have decided to use ovulation test strips,
I had my last period on the 1st of feb, so would have ovulated last night, my other half was away on buissness all week and came home last night, so we made love and it was really nice and romantic....
what i want to know is that i did another test this afternoon and the test line came up really dark ? (meaning i am ovulating) my partner has had to go away again earlier this evening, so we dont have another chance to have sex, but do i still stand a very good chance of falling pregnant after just having sex last night and only once, and as today i have ovulated what is my chances do you think it is sounding good even after just having sex the once??

Your chances are pretty good i'd say.
When the line shows up dark on the ovulation strip it usuall means you will ovulate within 24 hours. If you made love last night, the sperm will already be there waiting for the egg to be released and providing that happens quite soon I think you've got a pretty reasonable chance.
Given the right conditions the sperm can survive for a couple of day and the advice I have received is to make love a day or two before you're due to ovulate. Good luck!!

Your chances are quite good as you made love just before ovulation which lets the sperm get where it needs to be waiting for the egg to be released. If you go to your doc half way between now & your due period (about 11 days from conception) they can carry out a blood test which is ultra sensitive & can tell you if you were lucky or not earlier than a hpt.

Typically you can get pregnant 3 days prior and post ovulation... The "dark line" does not mean that you are ovulating......it mean that you are going to ovulate within the next 24 hours....... I was told to have sex within the next 24 hours of seeing the "dark line".... I did in fact get pregnant on the first try of using the ovulation strips....unfortunately I miscarried in my 9th week.....
You could very well be pregnant......Hopefully all that built up sperm worked hard to get into your egg
Best luck.....Happy Wishes, and Alot of Baby Dust
I too am trying to get pregnant now after the miscarriage......I cross my fingers and pray for the best

So much of relates to personal circumstances. I imagine you are really stressed over getting pregnant and stress has an adverse affect on getting pregnant. Try a forget about it. When you see your man just have a great time and nature will take its course.
I had a vasectomy reversal last year (01/11/06) and trying to get my wife pregant was uppermost in our minds. Then i just decided that we should leave it from our thoughts and just make love and see what happens.
Incidentally we are still trying!
Best of luck with your quest for a child and i wish you good health when pregnant.

Yes I think you have a good chance. It's only been six months, that's not really a long time.
You need to relax and stop analysing things so much, it'll happen when the time is right.
And like many teenage Mums will tell you, yes you can get pregnant from only having sex once!

Actually your more than likely to be pregnant from this romp than if you had waited. The strips actually tell when you ovulated (that's how it detects the LH hormone). The hormone is release AFTER an egg is released. So, you timed it exactly when the egg was released.
All you need is one little romp timed correctly. :)))
I hope you'll keep us posted. You can comment at any time in the comment box after the question has ended. I hope you do, I'm curious!

there is a chance that you could get pregnant but just having sex once, even if you wasn't ovulating when you have sex, sperm can live inside you for about three days, so when you do ovulate if there is some still in side you then there is a chance you could get pregnant.

Yeah of course you do, it only take once! Sperm can live 3 days or more in the fallopian tubes so if the egg wasnt quite ready it wont matter cos the sperm will be ready and waiting. If the egg was out already then theres a chance it will be fertilised. Good luck x

Hi , lots of people get pregnant from only having sex once, your chances are as good as the next person. The best advice i can give is relax , eat well , keep your weight under control , and only start asking questions if you havent concieved after the first year of trying. Its simple but good advice, good luck..Sam.

I would say you have a good chnace. the best time is usually 3 or less days before you ovulate and the closer to O the better. good luck and let us know what happens. i betting a boy, as it is the day before O and the Y sperm are faster mightier swimmers. LOL! again good luck! Baby dust to all TTC!!!
