My husband and I are in our early twenties and I have never been on birth control. We had sex on day 10 and 11 of my cycle which ranges from 28-32 days give or take. Is there a good chance I could get pregnant? I've looked at ovulation calculators but I don't have an exact amount of days my cycle is. We would be thrilled if I was pregnant I just wanted to know if it was a possibilty.... & Is it true if you are in your 20's and never been on birth control you are more fertile? Any life experiences would be appreciated! Thanks...

It's possible, but not probable. Sperm can live in your body for up to 4-5 days, but most die off within 3.
Yes, go to http://www.fertilityfriend.com. I thought I was knowledgeable in the area of conceiving, but I have learned so much.
Quick tip: as soon as your cervical mucus (the underwear gunk) is clearish and sticks together like eggwhites and there's lots of it, start doing the babydance! It's one of the best indicators of fertility and impending ovulation. The other is charting your temperature, but that mostly tells you that you have already ovulated (no longer fertile).
You'll learn all this and more at the above website. I got pregnant my first month trying with my second pregnancy!
Good luck! And yes, you are more fertile since you are young and have never been on birth control.

The best days to try with a 28-32 day cycle would be day 10-day 19. This is because sperm can live up to 5 days, and the egg is good for about 24 hours. If you only had sex on day 10 and day 11, then it could result in a pregnancy if you are having a 28 day cyle this month, If it's longer than you did not have sex on the right days and should have tried for a few more days.

Most t hings I read say that ovulation usually happens about day 14 of a 28 day cycle. I'm not exactly sure . I would suggest to have sex more often, every 2-3 days.

Ovulation always occurs 12-16 days BEFORE your peiod comes, you can;t determine it the other direction. Sperm optimally can survive inside of you for 5 days. It's entirely possible.

Dont know about all those theories, but you need to have sex more if you want to get pregnant, like every other day!!
Chart on fertilityfriend.com and use ovulation tests to tell when you are ovulating to increase your odds!!!
Good luck!

My suggestion for when you are not sure about your ovulation cycle....just have sex everyday!!! That way you know you won't miss your ovulation time and you will burn allot of calories!!

relax, if you are both healthy it will happen on its own. don't try so hard and don't worry about it so much. as soon as you stop planning and trying so hard, you'll pop up pregnant. and i agree with the previous answer, you need to have sex more! good luck
