Can successful intercourse on 9th day cause pregnancy?

Question

Trying to understand my fertile window properly and im a bit confused about the timing. My cycle is fairly regular. Can it happen on the 9th day, anyone with experience?

Swati Barik · Answer

Listen, if your cycle is short, say 25-26 days, then yes, day 9 is quite close to your ovulation window and sperm can survive for 5 days. So there is definitely a good chance of pregnancy. Just wait for your period date and do a test.

Suparna Sen · Answer

Yes, it is possible since sperm can stay alive inside for up to 5 days. You can track your ovulation with a kit to be sure.

Haha, yes indeed! My little kicker in my belly right now is the result of a 'day 9' meeting. Don't underestimate those early cycle days, they are highly active!

Avantika Iyengar · Answer

Scientifically, yes. Since sperm survives inside the reproductive tract for 3 to 5 days, intercourse on day 9 can fertilize an egg released on day 12 or 13. Just wait for your missed period to do a urine test.

Sudha Deshpande · Answer

I totally understand how anxiously you must be waiting for the results! Yes dear, day 9 can absolutely lead to pregnancy because our bodies are all different and ovulation times can shift. Sending you lots of love and praying for good news!

Madhavi Oswal · Answer

Yes, it can. If you have a busy schedule like me, track your cycle using an app because ovulation dates vary. Practically, intercourse on day 9 falls in the fertile window for many women, so wait and test after 14 days.

Actually I conceived exactly around day 9 or 10 of my cycle! I was tracking my ovulation and was surprised it happened so early. Are your cycles usually short?
