We were together about 4 days before my expected ovulation and now my period is late. Im confused whether conceiving that early is even possible since i thought it has to be closer to ovulation. Did this happen with anyone here?
Yes the tracker apps mark a whole fertile window for this reason, not a single day. The sperm waits for the egg basically. If you want to be precise about dates, your doctor can date it properly with a scan later.
My mother always said these calculations confuse more than help. Conception can happen even a few days after, so dont stress on the exact day. Once you confirm, let the gynac give you the proper dating, that is most reliable.
Totally possible, dont overthink the exact day. What matters now is whether your period is late and the test result. The doctor anyway calculates dates from your last period, not the day you assume.
Sperm can survive inside for around 4 to 5 days, so intercourse 4 days before ovulation can still lead to conception. My gynac told me this is actually quite common. The egg gets fertilised when ovulation happens, not on the day you were intimate.
Babe dont stress too much on the exact day calculation, it will drive you mad. Just test when your period is due and take it from there. The body knows what its doing.
Oh this is exactly what I was confused about while tracking. So the timing of intercourse and the actual conception day can be different, interesting. Makes sense why apps give a fertile window and not just one day.
