Specializes in Psychiatry

Yes: Ovulation usually occurs 14 days prior to one's next period. So, if you have a 28 day menstrual cycle - this would be your most fertile time of the month. Take care.

Yes: Your period may be slightly off from ovulation and therefore you could have ovulated not in the middle of your cycle and therefore can become pregnant.
