Maybe: There's no totally correct answer, but based on natural fecudability you could say the chance of conception in any cycle is 20%. So not terribly high, but you either get pregnant or you don't - there si no 20% pregnant. Please avoid unprotected sex at any time if avoiding pregnancy is important to you. Good wishes.
