We were trying this month and the timing was basically right when my period was supposed to come. Now im confused if that even works or no. Anyone conceived around their due date? pls share.
Actually, conception usually happens during ovulation, which is around 12-16 days before your period is due. My doctor told me that trying right when periods are due has very low chances of pregnancy because the fertile window has already passed. But every cycle is different, so tracking ovulation is best.
Haha, while I was busy planning my next pani puri treat, I also read about this! Normally ovulation happens much earlier in the month, not right when periods are due. But honestly, human bodies are weird, so who knows, just enjoy the process!
Same here, I used to track everything on Flo and Premom apps. Your fertile window is usually mid-cycle, not when period is due. But if your cycle is highly irregular, ovulation can shift, so using ovulation strips helps a lot!
To save time and avoid endless guesswork, it's better to understand your cycle. Conception happens during ovulation which is mid-cycle. Trying right before periods might not work unless you ovulated late, so don't stress over wrong timings.
Honestly, the chances are extremely low because ovulation happens way earlier. If you are trying to conceive, track your fertile days instead of guessing around your period date. It saves a lot of anxiety.
