Q: Doesn't matter who reads this, but girls would most likely know the answer.


A friend of mine told me that having sex on the 14th day after your period there's a greater chance of getting pregnant, and sometimes 2-3 days after that too. Is that true? If it is true, is that correct?
That is true. You are most likely to get pregnant when you are ovulating, when the egg drops from the ovary and before it enters the uterus. That is when sperm has the best chance of meeting with the egg and impregnanting a woman. Yes, you can get pregnant any time in the cycle, but the mid point, called ovulation, is when its most likely. That is why when you see on tv shows, or movies when a couple is trying to get pregnant, they are always like sweetie, its time.
I know that sounded pretty dorky and scientific, but better you know the reasons why.

thanks so much!
