I mean isn't that when you ovulate, approximately two weeks after your period started (or ended , I don't know) and ovulation only leaves a two day window, right?
Correct me if I am wrong, but fertilization is impossible at any other time, and pregnancy is only a 25% possibility and that's with full ejaculation during those two days...Right?

Way wrong...it's an urban myth. IF you ever have unprotected sex there is ALWAYS a chance of pregnancy. If it was true the doctor would tell you to only use condoms for one week a month! The thing is you never really know when you ovulate...or how long sperm will live once inside of you. And it's not just a 2 day window.

While most women ovulate 2 weeks past their period, some women ovulate at other times. Some women ovulate at different times each month. Sperm can live 5-7 days inside a woman and after the egg is released there is 24-48 hours when it can be fertilized. So, really that's more like 7-9 days out of the month when having sex can lead to pregnancy. It's technically possible to get pregnant at any time in your cycle, it just depends on what day you ovulate.

not everyone ovulates mid-cycle. Some women ovulate on their period, right after, or just before it.
Yes, even if you have sex with ejaculation during ovulation, there is only about a 25 % possibility.
But remember, sperm can live for up to a week waiting for the egg to be released... so there really isn't a "safe" time that you can't get pregnant.
If you want to avoid pregnancy, use protection.

Nope, everyone ovulates at different times. There has been more studies of ladies ovulating two weeks after their period, that's why they say that, but you may not be one of them.
I was TTC and just did the baby dance by chance the day that I got off my period, then two weeks after that, but come to find out that day that I got off, was when I got pregnant.
And ovulation time is another thing that can be very different in different women, some ovulate for a week, some for two days, but the average is 4 to 7 days.

they say you ovulate ABOUT 2 weeks after the first day of your period. And you are fertile all through that time its different for everybody. No fertilization can happen anytime there is an egg in your body. Also it doesn't take full ejaculation. Pre-ejaculation also carries sperm so that can do it to.

Wrong! You can get pregnant at ANY time, your chances are much better when you ovulate. However, even though your period is technically cleaning out your system from last months potential pregnancy that didn't happen, you can even get pregnant then! SO don't lose hope, you have lots of opportunity and it will take a little time.

theorhetically, you are right. Although it is about cd14 (the first day of your cycle being the first day of bleeding) if you have an average cycle of 28 days.
BUT not all women ovulate perfectly or have regular cycles. Some women can genetically ovulate more than one egg, especially if she has a longer cycle, she may ovulate twice if enough lutenizing hormone is present.
It's not like clockwork, so the rhythm method (timing your cycle to prevent sex during ovulation) only works the same as if you didn't use it, which is 25%.

you can only get pregnant when you ovulate, but sperm can live inside you for several days waiting for an egg and ovulation does not always occur two weeks after your period. if you want to avoid pregnancy, use protection every time, no matter when in your cycle. if you want to get pregnant, have sex every other day all through your cycle. any more than that and sperm doesn't have the chance to build back up again between sessions,

Sorry but no, no, no.
Different women ovulate at different times and that is the time you are most likely to get pregnant, but you can get pregnant at different times.
I got pregnant when I was supposed to be having my period, but it didn't come due to previous bleeding between when my periods would have been. I was on the pill also.
I don't know where you are getting your information, but it is not a good source.
good luck!

I wouldn't bank on it. I didn't have a period for an entire year before I conceived my first son. Then waited a year and a half without periods before getting pregnant with baby #2. Nothing is an exact science so it just depends. They can tell you what should happen, or what normally happens, but everyone is different and may not be in the norm.
