Question about timing - Trying to Conceive (TTC) Message Board

livinon1 · 04-12-2007, 11:49 PM

Hey there, I was just confused about when it was easiest to concieve. From what I heard, the best time is during the 'ovulatory phase' about 14 days before my next period. But I was wondering is it also possible to get pregnant immediately after my period? During the middle of my 'follicular phase'? Would this be completely fruitless or could there still be chance to concieve when not on the 'planned' ovulatory time?

Any help would be appreciated!

i guess it partly depends on how long your cycle lasts. if you had a 24 day cyle, and af lasted 7 days, then you would o on about day 10. also on how good them little swimmers are and of course, the quality of your cm has to be fertile cm of they wont survive at all!

Yes I see. I'm not quite sure how long my cycle is though. Until recently I was on bc, making me somewhat regular. I suppose that means I have a 26 or 28 day cycle? Then I would have to wait until day 12 or day 14 right? I'm rather impatient though, is it alright to try when it is not one of those days??

Hi you ovulate about 14 days before your period is due so you would only ovulate on day 14 if you had a 28day cycle and you have a 14 day LP. However some people can have a slightly shorter or longer LP, it ranges from 10-16days!

For example if someone had a 40 day cycle and they had a 12 day LP the fertile time would be from cd27-29

With your cycle you should aim to have sex every other day till day 10, and from day 10-14 i would do it every day if possible!
As soon as your cm goes clear and stretchy i would do it as much as you can! lol it depends on your sex drive really lol

good luck

And anyway its best to have reguler sex all the way through your cycle to keep up a fresh supply of fast swimming sperm, if you waited till your fertile day chances are most of the sperm will be sluggish coz they will be old and tierd!
