Prime time: After ovulation occurs is generally the most fertile time, giving the most likelihood when pregnancy can occur.

Yes. : Yes. Every individual has a particular ovulation date. You have 50 day cycles, so it is almost impossible to know when exactly you are fertile. People don't work like machines. There are too many variables involved.

Ovulation: Ovulation is the act of releasing an egg for fertilization. It is easiest to get pregnant shortly before ovulation as the egg is only viable for pregnancy for a very short period of time. It may be possible to have sex and get pregnant after ovulation but the timing must be perfect!

Yes: Ovulation is an event where the ovary releases an egg or oocyte for fertilization with the sperm. One's chance of conception is the highest around the time of ovulation.

Yes: Pregnancy only happens after the ovary releases an egg, which is ovulation. The sperm then have about 24 hours to fertilize the egg. However, since sperm can survive up to 6 days, then intercourse up to 6 days prior to ovulation can result in pregnancy.

Q unclear: You must ovulate to be able to get pregnant--but if you mean how long past ovulation can you get pregnant, likelihood drops off a lot after 5-7 days, but there is never a true "free" time where pregnancy could not be possible.

Ovulation: Women with regular cycles, have a surge in lh hormone levels that matures and ovulates (releases) the egg 24 - 48 hours later. This is the time you can get pregnant. Sperm can survive for several days after you have sex. If you have unprotected sex during that time ovulation, you can get pregnant.
