Can I Get Pregnant During Ovulation Time?

I took Plan B approx. a week to a week and a half after I began my last period (Dec. 30). I had a light period Jan. 16. My husband and I decided to start trying to get pregnant during my next ovulation. My question is should I base my ovulation calculations on the Dec. 30 start date or the Jan. 16th? Will I be able to become pregnant within the next month?

Hello,

Thanks for writing to us.

Ovulation occurs approx 14 days prior to next due date in case of 28-30 days cycle.

As per calculation, you will ovulate on 16th Jan & if you do unprotected sex during this time or close to your fertile days, then you have quite chance (20-25% per cycle) of being pregnant.

However, if you already took Plan-B around 10th day (a week and half of week after period) of cycle and started light period on Jan 16, then possibility of ovulation is quite LOW on that day.

Your period may be delayed for 1-2 weeks due to hormonal imbalance. I suggest you to await for next period and plan for pregnancy after that.

Maintain genital hygiene and take care. Good luck.
