    Late Period and Freaking out
    Okay here it is... Me and my Fiancé had unprotected sex on Friday night and Saturday morning... I was supposed to ovulate from the 9th to the 14th this month... but I'm 3 days late and I was supposed to start on the 25th... Could I be pregnant or could it just be late?:confused: please help!

    Do you mean that you had sex on the 8th and 9th? If you were expecting to ovulate somewhere between the 9th and 14th, then yes, you could be pregnant. Period could just be late too... either try a pregnancy test or give it a few more days to see if your period shows up and test then if need be.

    Well you only ovulate for 3 days a month. But if you had sex while you were ovulating, your period is late, and it's usually on time. Then you are probably pregnant.

    Actually a woman usually only ovulates one day... the egg is only viable for about 24 hours. She can be fertile for several days however leading up to ovulation... a time when the sperm can stay alive and wait for the egg to be released, otherwise they die off fairly quickly.

    It's possible the recent sex threw off your cycle a bit. If you had sex on the 22nd and the 23rd, but you believe you ovulated somewhere between the 9th and 14th, without any sex during that time, or just before it, you could not be pregnant.

    Sex right before you are due for a period is one of the least likely times to become pregnant. Possible, (you can have a cycle once in awhile where you ovulate outside of your norm) but not likely.

    I went through fertility treatmrnt a year ago. 14 days after the first day of your last period are the days you are fertile.

    This is true for many women, but not all. Some will naturally ovulate sooner or later than the norm... and occasionally might even have a one off cycle where they ovulate outside of their own norm.

    This is why women have to be careful if they are trying to become pregnant not to focus just on those days as they could miss their window even by a few days and that might make all the difference.. . important too if they are trying not to become pregnant and are using natural family planning. It is a good starting place... about 12-16 days before your next period is due regardless of how long your cycle is, but watching for other signs that your body is preparing for ovulation can be helpful for each individual.
