A member asked:

Is it possible to ovulate 5 days after my period ends?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Ovulation: Ovulation can occur from day 12 through day 14 in a "normal" cycle, but since the sperm can live for 24-72 hours, if sexual activity occurs on day 10-12 of your cycle, ovulation on day 14 would still make pregnancy possible. If your next cycle is delayed over normal, obtain a serum pregnancy test (HCG) for certainty.
