ie, can a woman ovulate at different times from one month to the next? The reason I ask is that DH and I DTD and used the withdrawal method (worked for us for 8 years prior to DS, I might add, then he only took one BD to conceive). We're not actively TTC#2, but not exactly avoiding pregnancy IYKWIM, we do want another at some point :yes:
I checked my cycle dates the next day and we had BD'd on about day 23 of the cycle, and if my luteal phase was 14 days, I would no longer have been fertile, according to an online fertility calculator.
The thing is, since my AF returned after a lovely 19 month break (still BFing DS), my cycles have been VERY regular, pretty much exactly 28 days, maybe the odd 29 day one. As of right now, I'm 2 days late for AF and no sign of her, apart from a bit of cramping about 4 or 5 days after we BD'd and right now I'm sitting here and can feel ever so slight period like 'feelings' (not like a cramp though, very very mild).
Has anyone ever conceived AFTER the time when they thought they were fertile?
