Can you get pregnant only during ovulation or at any time of the month?
Answers: You can only get pregnant when you have ovulated. The egg lives for about 48 hours and sperm can also live for about 48 hours.
Here's the catch. You can't be sure when you are going to ovulate. Most women ovulate AROUND cycle day 14. This is normally plus or minus a few days. The real issue is that you don't know exactly when you are going to ovulate.
So, you think you've ovulated at day 14 and on day 21 you are having unprotected sex. Surprise your body ovulates and you get pregnant. So, it is less likely that you will get pregnant by having unprotected intercourse on the 21st day of your cycle, but it isn't impossible...
That's why you hear of stories of women getting pregnant all through their cycles.
good luck!
PS - of course the opposite is true if you are trying to conceive - you have to have sex near ovulation. If you only have sex around the middle of your cycle you might miss your personal ovulation time.
There are things you can do to predict your own ovulation better. You can measure your basal temperature every morning, preferably before getting out of bed. You should see a 1 degree 'spike' in your temperature. The other thing you could do is get a monitor (like a clear plan fertility monitor) to determine when you ovulate. It would get more accurate over the months..
the bad thing is you can get pregnant anytime you have unprotected sex. i know women who got pregnant on their period! Its easier for you to get pregnant around ovulation time, but sometimes you might ovulate more than once a month or if your period is irregular..thatswhy its important to keep track of your cycle and another method is to check your temperature..you cango on any women heatlh site to learn more info on that Ovulation is when a woman is most likely to get pregnant but not the only time. As long as there is an egg around, there's the chance of pregnancy. Some women release an extra egg and some women can release eggs on a slightly different schedule each time. That's why just charting your cycle and estimating when you will ovulate is the least effective way to avoid pregnancy..
You can get pregnant anytime but it's easiest when your ovulating, sperm can live inside your body up to 72 hours .* YHOO CAN GET PREGNATNT ANY TIME OF THE MONTH
EVEN WHEN YHOO ARE ON YA PERIOND
