You can only get pregnant during the time that you are ovulating, and this time varies from woman to woman. If you have an average length cylce of 28 days, then you probably ovulate on cycle day 14 so having intercourse on or before that date could result in pregnancy. They say that sperm can live in fertile quality cervical fluid for up to 5 days. So that would mean 9-14 days after the start of your period you may be able to become pregnant.
There are many methods on determining when you ovulate, you could use ovulation test strips, or track your basal body temperature.

every woman is different, but typically there is only a short window of time when you are ovulating. That tends to be mid-cycle (between the start of one period and the next one). But cycles can vary in length between one woman and the next, and between the same woman. Assuming you have a 28 day cycle, you will typically ovulate on day 14. However, it takes time for the egg to travel down the tubes, and also for the sperm to reach the egg, so it is generally considered that you are fertile for a couple of days before, and a couple of days after.
That said, you don't necessarily release an egg every month, the egg you do release may not be of good enough quality to survive, the sperm may not reach it quick enough, the sperm may be of doubtful quality, they may meet and nothing happens.
So all a bit hit and miss. Makes you wonder how anyone can still get pregnant at all, let alone "by mistake"!!

what the nurse said is almost true!!
What you probably don't know is that the sperm is alive in your body for 72 hours, that is 3 days.
So even if you have sex Monday, u might get pregnant Wednesday.
That is quite funny!!
You have around 10-14 days in a month when you CAN'T get pregnant.
Usually before, during and after your period.
My sister in law had treatment to conceive a baby so that is how I know.
Best times to get pregnant is in the morning and how excited you are is important as well.
But is no need to believe my words....

No.
You can get pregnant any day of the month even while you are on.
There are some better days to get pregnant than others, like 14 days after you come on and for about a week after if that's what you want to do, to increase your chances. There is also a fertility test you can do similar to a pregnancy test which tells you the most likely day you can conceive, or taking your temperature, but as a form of contraception i.e the rhythm method, there is a 100% failure rate.

The best time to fall pregnant is two weeks before the start of your period. If you keep a record of your periods you should be able to work out roughly when this will be every month. It all depends on how regular your cycle is. Don't forget if you don't want to get pregnant ALWAYS use contraception. It is much easier than coping with a baby you don't want.

you can only get pregnant when an egg is released from the ovary. this happens once a month,and is called "ovulating". the egg travels slowly down the fallopian tube.it can take 2-3 days to do this,so this is the only time you can get pregnant,if met by a sperm. ovulation occurs approx 14 days from the first day of your last period,if you have a regular cycle.

Now everyone can cure infertility using this natural remedy http://pregnancyhelps.info
infertility can run in the family and one of the first things the doctor asks you when you go to a fertility clinic is your family history regarding cases of infertility or other reproductive issues.
If infertility is caused by genetic disorder then it's not unusual that one of the kids (your mom) doesn't have it and another does (your aunt).
two months of trying is still to early to be concerned about the fact that you might be infertile and it's also quite early to go to a fertility specialist. Go to a regular Obgyb to get a closer insight and see what ways there are are to improve your fertility rate.
Also remove alcohol, caffeine and cigarettes from your life because they might influence your chances too. Stress is also a risk factor when it comes to infertility.

Once infertility has been diagnosed, there are a number of treatment options available depending on the root cause of the problem. Learn here https://tr.im/ZQMia
Infertility is a condition defined as not being able to become pregnant after at least one year of unprotected, regular, well-timed intercourse. Women who suffer from multiple miscarriages may also be diagnosed as infertile. Infertility may be classified into two groups, primary and secondary infertility.

Usually around the 14 day of your last period is your ovaluation time.
You have only 36 hours a month that you can concieve according to my gyno.
