can i be pregnant?

September 06, 2007

Hello,

The first day of my last period was on August 14th and has been for the past 3 months. I am very regular w/ periods, when the day changes it stays that way for a few months. My periods are usually 3-4 days long. We tried on the 26th....what are the chances that I am PG?

that's something that it's never guaranteed, but given that you are regular and timed things correctly, i'd imagine your chances are pretty good :-)

thanks veronica, i guess my question is....was that my ovulation/fertility time? I am not too good at this. We have an 11yr old and don't really remember how or when it happened...(we were younger then)

Hi Alice,

You would basically have to subtract 14 days from when you expect to have your period...this is the most likely date you ovulated. If the 26th (when you BD)falls anywhere between 3 days before you ovulated up until the day you ovulated, then you'll have a good chance of getting pregnant. Good luck, and please keep us posted

Thanks Dr. Q! Okay so I am still little confused!! Sorry! What is BD? and If my period started on the 14th and lasted 3-4 days...when was I ovulating? I tried webmd's caluculator and it said that my high fertility date was 08/26 and ovulation ends 08/31...so what days can you actually get PG? Thank you in advance!

Hi Alice,

BD means "baby dance". Your ovulation date is when you expect your next period (say September 15th), subtract 14 days and this is when you ovulated (September 1st). Your most fertile days is up to 3 days from this (August 29, 30, 31, and the 1st)
