Answer
If you have a normal 28 day cycle (from the first day of your period until the first day of your next period) ovulation occurs on cycle day #14. You can ONLY become pregnant if you have sex on cycle day #13, 14, 15, or 16. I would suggest that you concentrate having sex around those days, each month. You can purchase an ovulation predictor kit from the pharmacy to help pinpoint the exact day of ovulation. If you have not becomce pregnant after trying for a full year, contact a gynecologist to start an infertility workup. HOwever, since you already have one child, I doubt that there will be a problem. YOu just have to have sex at the correct time. If your last period started on October 26, you are already late for your period. Did you take a pregnancy test?
