There is no 14th day after your period theory for concieving ..?

Question

Wh most woman do not know this I do not know. It should be taught in health. I have 6 kids and can tell you it is not the length of your period but when you ovulate is when you get pregnant. During each cycle you have a white discharge ( this is the temporary cap coming off your tubes) then this discharge turns to clear. That is when you are ripe. This discharge helps guide the sperm to the egg. It is only a 24 hour period during the month that you can concieve. If you have sex during these times you will get pregnant .If you don't notice this then it could be happening during your period and the blood masks the discharge so you will not see it. however you are still fertile. I hope this helps woman out there trying to concieve and this isn't really a question but feel free to comment.

yes you can ovulate during your period, google it and find the facts

Answer 1

I knew that but you are right that not enough women do. I usually started ovulating about 3-4 days after I finished my period which would be about 8-9 days after the first day of my last period. By day 14, I am done ovulating. I have a daughter and one on the way, so I must have done something right.

Answer 2

The white discharge is actually cervical mucus and it is produced because of the rising levels of estrogen. As the estrogen rises the mucus gets clearer, thinner, and stretchier--has nothing to do with caps on your tubes.
Sperm can live in fertile quality cervical mucus for up to 5 days, with 2-3 being more common, and therefore you can get pregnant from sex that took place a few days before ovulation. When the egg is released and the sperm is there waiting conception can take place. It is very unlikely to ovulate while menstruating, but not impossible.
Ovulation happens 10-16 days before the start of your NEXT period. When you ovulate the follicle turns into a corpus luteum and it produces progesterone. The progesterone causes the lining of the uterus to thicken in preperation for implantation of an embryo. If you don't get pregnant, the corpus luteum dies after about 14 days later and this signals the lining of the uterus to shed--your period.

Answer 3

You do not ovualte during your period - ever. but it is true that alot of woman think that the best time for ovulation is around day 14 after the start of thier period. However - 14 days is only an average. That means that it could be any other day and every month the day changes. Sperm can live inside the female for up to 5 days so it may SEEM like you ovulated during your period but conception did not happen then. Conception rarely ever happens immediately following sex.......that is why it can be so confusing for some. Woman have only been told part of the facts and beive the myths.

Your information is partly right but the fact that you ovualte during your period is wrong. It is medically impossible. But ovualtion can happen right before or after...........

Check out the book "taking charge of your fertility" but Toni Weschler. It is for all woman - not just woman trying to conceive. I think every woman should read this book and stop believing the myths.

Thanks for sharing....I did find per babyhopes.com

"Besides misleading vaginal bleeding, the ability of sperms to survive inside a woman's body is also another reason why it is possible for a woman to get pregnant during her periods. Sperms can survive for an average of two or three days, inside a woman's body under normal conditions. If they receive ideal circumstances, however, they may remain viable for up to five days. So if sperm are deposited early, such as during a woman's period, they can hang around a few days, waiting until conditions are right for conception. A woman is most likely to become pregnant if sexual intercourse occurs just before or just after ovulation."

I think I had over looked that portion of the site. I am experiencing some strange very early pregnancy symptoms at cd 16 therefore, when I see my bfp this month then it definitely occured during the first eight days of my cycle. So once again- i appreciate the info.

Answer 5

That is interesting, I have read SOOO many aritcles that say that you usually ovulate 14-16 days before your period starts...it is confusing when you read so many contradicting statements. Also i wonder how you can ovulate while you are on your period....its alll confusing, thankfully i can feel when i do. So I guess thats good for me, but what about people who cant. ANyways, just blabbing. Interesting though. :) TTC#1

Answer 6

I would have assumed that people trying to get pregnant would already know about ovulation. Maybe not?

Answer 7
