Getting pregnant 365 days a year!!!

[mmblevins]

Is there a chance that I could get pregnant 365 days a year, without tracking my ovulation?

[Woogelaide]

Nope. That just isn't how it works. There are more like 12-25 days a year when you can get pregnant if you have a typical 28-day cycle. If a woman ovulated every day she would hit menopause very young.

No. You ovulate once a month-ish. There is a window of time around ovulation where any sperm from sex can fertilize an egg.

Without tracking your ovulation, since you don't have any idea when you ovulate, yes, in theory, you "could" get pregnant 365 days a year (our bodies don't take holidays or weekends off). In reality, you body is only open to conceiving 12-25 days like was said above, but without knowing what days those are, there's always that chance.

agree with this

Forgive my ignorance and please don't let this offend anyone. I am really interested in gaining information on this topic to keep from getting pregnant again.

My understanding is that the average woman with ovulate once per cycle - sometimes twice because of something that has to do with lunar cycles or something. Based on a 28 day cycle that would mean 13 cycles. An egg will live for 12-24hrs after ovulation. Sperm can live up to up to 7 days (under the most prime conditions) after intercourse to fertilize an egg. Which would mean each cycle COULD afford a woman up to 8 days in which sex COULD result in pregnancy. Times that by 13 cycles and you are given over 100 days out of 365. Obviously there are a lot of what if's in that theory, but that's a big jump from 12-25 days. So my question is where does that number come from? Am I misunderstanding some major part of this or am I just being more broad to be on the safe side (as I am trying not to get pg again after this one)?

Honestly... I think the most simple answer is to either get on a form of birth control or get your tubes tied or have your SO have a vasectomy. Unless you do that, without charting your ovulation, there really isn't a way to know when you "could" get pregnant....
