Yes, today is the 5th -- generally speaking, when you're trying to become pregnant, fertility experts tell their patients to have sex every other day (it allows the sperm to build up between times). Since your fertile time continues through next Thursday, having sex today and then every other day until then will give you your best chance of getting pregnant.

Have fun, and good luck!

You're very welcome.

With a cycle of 29 days, your most fertile period would have been 6/2 through 6/12. So you'd have been right on the front edge of your fertile days.

Hi, Vanguel, and thank you so much for your question.

You didn't mention how long your monthly cycles are (for instance, the "normal" cycle is said to be 28 days long) or whether you are regular, and both of those things can make a big difference in whether you get pregnant or not.

If you are regular, here is when your most fertile days were

1. if your cycles are 26 days long: 5/30 to 6/09
2. if your cycles are 28 days long: 6/01 to 6/11
3. if your cycles are 30 days long: 6/03 to 6/13

In the first two instances, June 2 is in your fertile time; in the third instance, it's just outside it.

There's really no way to tell for sure until you're late for your period and can take a pregnancy test. Are you hoping to be pregnant, or hoping not to be?
