Hello Archie

could you tell my chances of conceiving this month based on following information. I am listing here ,my cycle day and whether or not we had intercourse that day. Just to remind, my cycle length is 25-26days...found that I am ovulating on CD12 or CD13 with a constant luteal phase length of 13days.

From CD1 to CD8..No intercourse.
CD9 had intercourse
CD10 had
CD11 No
CD12 No
CD13 No intercourse.(OVULATED on this day).
CD14 had intercourse.
CD15 No
CD16 had
CD17 to CD20 No intercourse.

I think, I had only on the first and last days of my 5day Fertile window this time.
Could you give me suggestions on this for better chances to succeed.

take care,
Rekha.

archie replied. Rekha,
I think intercourse on CD9 is the only that could be accounted for business. Because intercourse on the day you ovulated is difficult to say whether it was ahead or post ovulation. Knowing that egg can survive only for 12 hours, the intercourse on CD9 is the only your chance.

Good news is with optimal vaginal environment your spouse sperm if entered in fallopian tube can stay for as long as 5 days.

Hang in there for another 7 days to see if you get period. If you don't wonderful, but if you then in next cycle start intercourse from CD9 to CD14, once a 24 hour or at least once a 48 hours.

Good luck, keep me posted.
