Yes, you can. And sex doesn't have to be full intercourse to get pregnant. Close genital contact without penetration could put you at risk of an unplanned pregnancy or a sexually transmitted infection. Remember, some STIs may not have symptoms. Your health is important. If you are having any kind of sexual contact including oral sex, you owe it to yourself to have an STI check-up. For women, it is also very important to have a routine Pap test.

There is no guarantee that you will achieve the desired pregnancy. Even with perfectly timed intercourse and the best of circumstances, you only have about a 25% chance of getting pregnant each cycle. If you feel there is a problem, consult your doctor.

Pregnancy can happen any time that sperm is ejaculated or pre-ejaculated out of a man and spilled near the woman's sexual organs. Activities such as petting or foreplay can still put you at risk of becoming pregnant.

Believe it or not, the answer to this question is yes. Pregnancy can happen any time that sperm is ejaculated or pre-ejaculated out of a man and spilled near the woman’s vagina.

Yes, it is safe for a man using Propecia® to have sex with his pregnant wife. The pregnant woman must not ingest the pills, or even handle the actual pills, or any liquid form of finasteride during her pregnancy, because Propecia® is easily absorbed through the skin. Propecia® could potentially harm a male fetus, especially if taken during the third trimester of pregnancy when the sexual organs are developing.

The frequency of intercourse generally should be that which the couple considers most enjoyable. However, during the time of the moth when ovulation takes place, the most advantageous frequency of intercourse is every other day (i.e., every 48 hours). The reason for this interval is that sperm should survive for 48 hours within the woman's reproductive tract and the egg should be subject to impregnate for 12 to 24 hours.

To increase the chance of conception, it is best to have intercourse the day of the LH surge as well as following three days after. A faint line (or a faint positive test band) does not indicate a positive result for an LH surge. While the presence of a faint line on a pregnancy test may indicate a positive result, a faint line on an OPK is always negative. Please refer to the images on our instruction pages to interpret results.

This is a personal choice to some extent. In most cases, enjoying sexual intercourse is fine and will not cause harm to the fetus.

Pregnancy can only occur in the few days following ovulation (the release of an egg). This usually takes place at some point in the middle of a woman's menstrual cycle, between her periods. Unfortunately, women have no definite way of knowing exactly when they are ovulating, so there is no guaranteed "safe" time to have unprotected sex.

No actually, research shows that there are a small number of days during which a woman is likely to get pregnant ? a few days before she ovulates and the day she ovulates. But these days may not be at the same time every cycle because a woman doesn't always ovulate at the same time. Studies conducted by the Institute for Reproductive Health have shown that the "fertile window" ? days when a woman could get pregnant ? is Days 8 through 19 of their menstrual cycles for most women.

Yes! You can get pregnant the first time you have sex because having sex for the first time is the same as having sex any other time. If you want to avoid becoming pregnant, you should use birth control, right from the first time you have sex.

It depends on whether your period coincides with your fertile lunar phase (see below). If it does... well then Yes it is a possibility that you may get pregnant if you have unprotected sex. If it doesn't then you should be OK.

The average fertility cycle for ovulating women starts at the beginning of one menstrual period (day 1) continuing through mid-point ovulation (day 12-14) and ending at the start of the following menstrual period (day 28). Ovulation is an egg moving from an ovary and into a fallopian tube. If the egg is not fertilized, after it has passed through the fallopian tube it is discarded by the body during the next menstrual period.

You might get away with it, because the chance of getting pregnant from a single act of sex is around one in 20. But it really isn’t worth taking the risk. Not really. ‘Withdrawal', or coitus interruptus as it’s known, is not a good way to avoid pregnancy – partly because boys leak sperm before they come I really wouldn’t advise this, particularly if you don’t know much about what you’re doing.

Intercourse closest to the time before ovulation and within 6 hours after ovulation gives you your best chances for conception.
