You know how to make a baby, but when is the best time to get pregnant? It\u2019s all about your fertility cycles, ovulation, and hormones. If you\u2019ve been asking yourself, \u201cWhy am I not getting pregnant?\u201d, then this is a must-read article for you.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
This is the most asked question about getting pregnant. Many people think you can get pregnant if you have sex on any day of your cycle. Generally, this is not true. Here are the basics of your menstrual cycle:<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
It\u2019s clear to see that the only time you can realistically get pregnant is during ovulation when a mature egg is ready to meet a sperm. This is why ovulation testing kits and apps which tell you which stage of your cycle you are in are so popular. One recommendation is to start having sex at around day nine of your cycle, as this should be just before you begin ovulating.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
Can you get pregnant after ovulation? The moment of ovulation is when the egg is released, but it takes time to travel to the uterus. The egg itself is viable for about 24 hours, so in theory, if you have sex after this window closes, you can\u2019t get pregnant.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
Conversely, if you had sex a few days before ovulation, it\u2019s still possible to get pregnant. But how? Because sperm lives for up to five days. This means there could still be viable sperm cells in your fallopian tubes when your egg is released, meaning you could have sex before ovulation and still get pregnant.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
