Pregnancy Possibility: Understanding Your Fertile Window

Question
I had unprotected sex late Friday night/early Saturday morning(April 6-7) and he did ejaculate inside of me. I started my LMP on the March 19th, I bled briefly and then suddenly stopped and didn't start bleeding again until the 20th and had my regular flow for the duration. I was wanting to know what the chances of me possibly getting pregnant on those days were? Thanks for your time!

Answer
Dear Hayley,

If your LMP was 3/19, your fertile window would be 3/29-4/8, so this would have been at the tail end of your fertile window (based on a 28 days cycle). We would anticipate that you would have ovulated on approximately 4/2, so your unprotected encounter should have been past the time when the egg would have remained alive and able to be fertilized for that cycle.

Now if you happened to ovulate late during that cycle or if your cycles are longer than 28 days, then the encounter could have fallen closer into the 24 hour time frame when the egg stays viable. But otherwise, you are probably safe.

I hope this has helped you and answered your question. I wish you well.
