# Conception usually occurs about 5-7 days after intercourse # Your most fertile period is about 5 days before ovulation # For most(but not all) women ovulation occurs about 14 days prior to her period.
Menstruation cannot be forced despite many claims by old wives' tales. It is controlled by hormones. If the possiblity of pregnancy exists there are many test kits sold at drug stores.
Yes, when pregnant you do not menstruate. Many women can bleed during pregnancy for a number of reasons, and they may mistake this vaginal bleeding with menstruation, however menstruation is a very specific function which is stopped during pregnancy.
Not necessarily. Cramping can be from many different things, including gas in the large intestine, ovulation, and menstruation.
It can mean you are pregnant or not. You need to take a test to find out. Very few women have all signs of pregnancy and you don't mention which they are but many of them are also the same as for ovulation and menstruation.
Many women complain of breast or nipple tenderness when pregnant. It's also a common complaint at the time of ovulation or menstruation. See your health care provider if the pain doesn't go away within a week; take a pregnancy test before seeing your health care provider if you are at risk of pregnancy.
At least 3 but usually 4 at the earliest for most women. The first week of pregnancy is actually considered to be the week of your menstruation.
You have a 1 in 2 chance of having a girl. No matter how many boys you have had in the past or how many girls you have had in the past, each pregnancy presents the opportunity to have a girl or a boy with a 50% chance. The sperm does not know that it had already produced ,say, 5 boys and needs to produce a girl for you and your partner. So with every pregnancy there is a 50% chance you will have a girl and a 50% chance you will have a boy.
The percentage of women getting pregnant during menstruation is exactly 0% - it's biologically impossible to get pregnant during menstruation as there is no egg present for sperm to fertilise. It is however possible to get pregnant as a result of sex during menstruation as although there is no egg it is possible for a woman to have fertile quality cervical mucus present, this can allow sperm to live for up to a week and by that time she may have ovulated. There are no figures on how many women get pregnant this way, it would be impossible to keep track of those sort of figures.
Menstruation typically occurs about 14 days after ovulation in a regular menstrual cycle. This phase between ovulation and the start of menstruation is known as the luteal phase, which generally lasts between 11 to 16 days. If fertilization does not occur, hormonal changes lead to the shedding of the uterine lining, resulting in menstruation.
Yes, many women will still have a period through out pregnancy. To have a not so normal period is suspect enough to go get a pregnancy test!
There could be several reasons as to why your period is so late. The first, and most obvious, would be pregnancy. If you are sexually active and do not use birth control, there is a chance you could be pregnant. Even if you do use birth control, there is a chance, so I would recommend a home pregnancy test. However, if you are not sexually active, there are other reasons. Sometimes, menstruation can be delayed due to intense stress or physical activity- many advanced gymnasts do not have periods because they exercise so frequently. Being under stress can also throw your system out of whack. The other reason would be that there is something wrong with your uterus, such as fibroids or cysts. If you are not pregnant, I would go to a doctor to rule out anything that is physically wrong.
Although it is biologically impossibel to get pregnant during menstruation, it is possible to get pregnant as a result of sex during menstruation.Ovulation typically occurs two weeks before menstruation, or two weeks into your menstrual cycle if you have an average 28 day cycle - thus during menstruation there is no egg to fertilise. However if you have a short menstrual cycle it is possible to have fertile quality cervical mucus present during menstruation, this can keep sperm alive within your vagina for up to 7 days, by which time you may ovulate thus get pregnant. Many women also mistake vaginal bleeding for menstruation, for example you may think you're menstruating when actually the bleeding is ovulation bleeding - thus rather than low risk of pregnancy the risks are high.Unless you use Fertility Awareness Method you cannot know when you are fertile or ovulating for sure, thus you should always use another reliable method of birth control when sexually active. Don't assume you can't get pregnant at a certain time of your cycle as cycles can change - always assume high chance of pregnancy whenever you have sex without using birth control.
