I had my period on 5th (30day cycle)and had unprotected sex on 11th and 12th day of cycle with my husband.are there any chances of me getting pregnant? I do have regular period. What could be the possible fertile days, that could get me pregnant?

It can be quite individual, but a starting place would be about 12-16 days before your next period is due. Going with those days, you would be more likely to be fertile in the week after the 11th and 12th. You may ovulate sooner or later than this however, as some women do, so the possibility of pregnancy is not ruled out. It becomes a matter of waiting to see what happens when the next period is due.

Along with the days on the calendar, it can be helpful to watch for signs that your body may be preparing for ovulation, one of the more common ones being a change in cervical mucus.

Often, a few days before actual ovulation, the mucus will become more abundant, clear, and fluid. This is considered fertile mucus because it allows the sperm to survive longer and to move more freely.

Some women find using ovulation predictor kits work well for letting them know when their body is preparing for ovulation. It is important to follow the directions carefully, and it can take a few cycles to start to notice a pattern.
