Possibly: Oobtain a home pregnancy test. They turn positive within 72 hours before your expected period. If it's negative, repeat in 1 week.

Fertility: Sperm left in the vagina on any or all of the five days before ovulation are the sperm that cause pregnancy. Sperm left after ovulation are unlikely to cause pregnancy.

Definitely: The most fertile days of the month are the day of ovulation and the day before ovulation. But the "fertile window, " during which it is possible to conceive, extends 4 days prior to ovulation (i.e. Days 10-14 for a woman who ovulates on day 14). Good luck!

Fertile = ovulation: Your fertile days are the days you are ovulating. The timing of ovulation is how one defines the fertile days. Subtract 14 days from the expected date of your next period and that is the most likely day of ovulation
