My husband and I are trying to conceive, and I'm tracking my ovulation. I'm wondering if it's still possible to get pregnant after ovulation has already occurred, or if timing is very strict. Can pregnancy happen then?
It's technically possible within a very short window of 12-24 hours after the egg is released. Sending you so much love and hoping for the best for you.
Yes, but only for a day after ovulation. If you're trying to conceive, it's also a good idea to get your thyroid and basic blood work checked by your doctor regularly.
I used to panic and track every single hour, but then my doctor explained that sperm can live inside for days, so having sex before ovulation is actually better. Keep calm!
I know how stressful this waiting and calculating game can be, it really drains you. Yes, it's possible but the window is very short, so try to take a deep breath.
In my experience, conceiving right after ovulation is tricky because the egg only survives for about 24 hours. We had the most luck tracking and trying just before ovulation.
