Guideline: If your periods are usually regular with cycles of about 28 to 30 days, ovulation would occur around Feb. 16. Since sperm survives no more than 5 days, pregnancy would be quite unlikely although not impossible. I feel that your obgyn can advise you best,however especially if your menstrual cycles are very irregular.
