My cycle is 26-29 days. I usually bleed for 8 days. I don't really know when I ovulate. I think I know when its happening, but I never check the calander to see what day in my cycle it happens.

So, dh and I had sex on day 8. I was still bleeding a little, so I decided (stupid me!!) that it was ok to do it without a condom. Now I'm worried. According to an online period tracker, that was a fertile day for me. The computer is coming up with that based on 2 months of data that i've entered about my period. This morning I woke up feeling a little nauseaus. I didn't think much of it, but now I'm wondering fi I could be pregnant. What do you think, is it likely? Any thoughts would be appreciated!!

I would say it is possible, but unlikely. If your cycle is normally 26-29 days, and you don't know when you typically ovulate, it might be a little harder to figure out.

It could be, for example, that you ovulated on CD 12, which would make it more likely that you could get pregnant on CD 8, since sperm can survive for up to about 6 days in ideal conditions. If you don't ovulate until CD 16 though, you would be safe. Do you happen to remember any signs of fertility this cycle, such as ovulation pains, increased sex drive, or an increase in cervical fluid? Those might help you figure out when you ovulated.

How far are you into your cycle now? Do you expect AF soon? If you do, you could always take an inexpensive pregnancy test to ease your mind

Today is CD 13. I think I might be ovulating now, based on CM. So, that was 5 days ago that we DTD. Dh did withdrawal, but still, we are young, healthy, fertile people, so I don't know how much that matters. It's definitely way too early to test. I won't be able to for another 2 weeks. It's so hard not to think about. I'm getting obsessed with the idea of it but I can't decide which way I want it to go. And now I'm over-analyzing every little thing I feel, I'm not sure if I'm actually nauseaus or if its in my head

I think though, that even if you are nauseated, it couldn't be pregnancy related if you are just now ovulating. Sperm and egg maybe haven't even met yet! You are within the window of possibility, so I hope that it goes the way you want it to, whatever that is!

LOL, see, this is how much I'm freaking myself out!! I didn't even realize that conception might not have happened yet, if it's going to happen. I think I'm probably not, but the possibility has me going nuts! Thanks for your replies!!
