ask: I had my last period beginning 3/25 and had sex on 4/15 could i be pregnant is there a possibility or did i miss the ovulation and chance?

Hi, Anon, so glad you found us at EmpowHer! Let's see what we can figure out for you.

One piece of information I really need from you is the usual length of your cycle. How many days is it from Day 1 of your period to Day 1 of your next period?

The "normal" time is 28 days, so we'll use that as an example and you can adjust a little if your cycle is normally shorter or longer than that.

In a 28-day cycle, if your period started on 3/25, you would probably be ovulating somewhere between day 11 and 16. That would have fallen between April 4 and April 9. So if you are having a 28-day cycle, yes, you probably would have missed the ovulation window for this month.

However, if your cycles are longer, and if you ovulated late, there would be a possibility for pregnancy. A 32-day cycle, for instance, would have probably meant that you ovulated somewhere between April 12-16. It all depends on the length of your cycle.

Are you a little late in starting your period? Are you hoping that this is the case?

And in case you're wondering yes this is the same girl I'm Jessica by the way lol......I am just hoping I am pregnant cause he works out of town for a month at a time and I don't see him he got home the night we slept together so yes I am hoping but I've researched and think I probably missed my ovulation and won't have another chance cause he left again for a while.

Hi, Jessica! Glad to meet you officially. And I'm glad you answered back, that information does help a bit!

Between your period on Jan. 30 and your period on Feb. 28, your cycle was 30 days.

Between your period on Feb. 28 and your period on March 25, your cycle was 29 days.

Let's say this past period, then, was 30 days. If so, this was most likely what happened this month:

Day 1 -- March 25
Possible ovulation -- April 10-15 (just squeaking in!)
Day 30 -- April 23
And if that is the case, right now you would be a couple of days late.
If your cycle went 32 days this time, you would probably start your period today or tomorrow.

Have you thought about trying a home pregnancy test soon?

So sorry you have to miss seeing him for a month at a time! That's really tough. Let's hope that soon you'll have some extra good news to share. =) Please come back and update us soon!

That is very uplifting and exciting to me thankyou! And very nice to meet you also Diane you've been a wonderful help to me in this time of nerve mania lol! Yes it is hard for us but he has done it as a job for yrs we live in Oklahoma and he works all over like in LA or Montana was the latest. And I for sure will update you I will take a test soon if I am I'll let you know. Thankyou so much!

You're SO welcome. I have my fingers crossed for you!

Ok I still have no cycle! I'm excited............and I just caught that I put the 25th of March it was actually the 24th...........so today without a period makes my cycle 33 days if I'm not mistaken and I could so have been ovulating the 15th and have something in the oven! :)
