Question 1

a 28 days cycle can turn up to 35 days cycle? i am only 18 and i am worried. i am 2 days late. i had protected sex after ovulation occur.

Accepted Answer

Possible: Menstrual cycles can be irregular especially in the younger age group. However, pregnancy is also likely with sexual intercourse during the fertility window. Recommend a pregnancy test.

Question 2

can i  get pregnant if i had sex after ovulation?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Yes, ovulation releases an egg, so having sex shortly before, with 24 hours or so, or within 72 hours or so after ovulation is likely to result in pregnancy.

Question 3

expecting pregnancy. we are doing sex regularly. but intercourse after ovulation can spoil getting pregnancy. will stop sex after ovulation.

Accepted Answer

I would...: If you are using an ovulation predictor kit, make sure you have intercourse the day the kit reads positive and the day after.

Question 4

it is safe to have sex after ovulation and avoid pregnancy?

Accepted Answer

No: Having intercourse after ovulation is not a reliable way to avoid pregnancy.  Its difficult to know when ovulation occurs and the egg persists for a variable length of time after ovulation.  Some couples use the "Rythem Method" to avoid pregnancy  This requires avoiding intercourse during the fertile window when its most likely to get pregnant.  It takes diligence and research to get it right.

Question 5

how long after ovulation does the egg stay  viable? i've heard 24 hours? am i safe if i waited about a week and a half to have sex after ovulating?

Accepted Answer

Less than 24 hours: Probably less than 24 hours after ovulation. You should not get pregnant from sex a week and a half after you ovulate. Sometimes you can ovulate later than expected or miscalculate when you ovulate, so avoiding sex around the time of ovulation is not a great birth control method, especially if you're 18. Talk to your dr about birth control options.

Question 6

can you get pregnant when you have sex after ovulation, with or without protection?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Simple answer is yes, as nothing is really 100% effective. However, you are much less likely to become pregnant if you use reliable protection.

Question 7

if i had protected sex after ovulation or days before my period will there be chances that i will get pregnant?

Accepted Answer

Most likely not: but sometimes ovulation can be delayed etc also. but if you used protection chances low depending on what kind you used

Question 8

unprotected sex after ovulation but took morning after pill. is there high chance of pregnancy? very scared.

Accepted Answer

AM "after" pill.: The "morning after pill" does not always work. It depends on creating an unfavorable biologic condition for implantation to occur.  If you are certain that you ovulated, and your period did not start 14 days later, which is constant regardless of how long your monthly cycle is on average, get a serum pregnancy test from your healthcare professional.

Question 9

had unprotected sex after ovulation but he didn't cum inside me. is there any chances of me getting pregnant? i'm 18 year old

Accepted Answer

Motherhood: The chances of getting pregnant are highest around your ovulatory period. If you are not ready to have a baby, or abort an unwanted pregnancy, then you absolutely must stop having unprotected sex. If you do this enough, you WILL become pregnant. Ask your doctor for birth control or make your BF wear a condom every time. Boys don't always have control over ejaculation, and sometimes they lie.

Question 10

having some light light spotting only when i wipe but period isn't due for another 8 days what is it ..ps i did have sex after ovulation?

Accepted Answer

Do pregnancy test.: If you had unprotected sex without not using a reliable form of birth control then you could be pregnant.  Spotting frequently occurs at the time of implantation, due to the disruption of the lining of the uterus by the zygote. If you are concerned about pregnancy, do a home pregnancy test, if it is negative and still no period, repeat test in 7 days.  Another possibly is STD.
