My bleeding stopped and we had sex the next day, now I am wondering about chances. My cycle is sometimes short, around 25 days. Has anyone conceived from sex just after periods?
Chances right after periods are low but not zero, especially if you have a shorter cycle, because sperm can live a few days. Your best window is around ovulation, roughly mid cycle. So if you're trying, focus on those days. But never assume right after periods is fully safe either.
I had the same question when we started trying. From what I understood, just after periods the chance is small but possible. The higher chance days are around the middle of the cycle when you ovulate. I started tracking my dates to figure that out.
It's possible but unlikely right after periods. The real fertile days are around ovulation which is roughly two weeks before your next period. If you're trying to conceive, aim for those days. Use a simple app to track your cycle, it helps a lot.
It can happen though it's less likely just after periods. I'll say one thing, cycles vary so much, mine were irregular due to PCOS so the usual rules didnt fit me neatly. If you're trying and your cycle isnt regular, a doctor can help you figure out your real fertile days.
