how the period cycle works

if you ovulate in mid-cycle, and the egg only lives 24 hours, how is it possible to get pregnant late in the cycle. And if you ovulate late in the cycle, what happens to the egg during menstruation? Does it get fertilized during menstruation and hang around until the lining builds again so that it can implant?

A cycle works like this-- it is the first day of your period until the day before your next period starts (known once you start your next period). The first day of your period is cycle day 1. Count from there until your next cycle starts and that is how long your cycle is.

I read in an article on how a women gets pregnant. On the ovulation part it says that the egg is ripe for fertilization for about 24 hrs.What do they mean by that?An sperm is available is to fertilize an egg for 2 - 3 days after ejaculation...that means that after a man ejaculates in u u have 2-3 days to become pregnant?Im thinking about having an baby so im trying to learn a little bit more than what i already no now.

Maybe you could do some research on how a woman's body works and when/how a woman can conceive, maybe that would help you get a little more clarity that she's more than likely not pregnant

Thank you for your responses. I only started to get short cycle with minimal bleeding about a year and couple months ago (I actually just turned 35 too). I haven't been on BC pills for almost 8 years. My gyn keeps telling me that its ok just as long as I bleed so I don't know. Maybe its just my hormones but I started taking B6 about a month and a half ago and my luteal phase was a little longer but period only came light for 2 days.

How long did it take for your period to come after your miscarriage? I know that it usually 2-4 weeks after. But just curious what y'alls experiences are.

Tracking ovulation isn't 100% It's very easy to miscount and sometimes it doesn't naturally fall right in the middle of the cycle. Besides the 10th did you have any sex during January or the rest of Feb? Because that could also be a conception date.

How do you count the numbers of your cycle? I been wanting to know for the longest how do you know whether or not your cycle is 28 days and so on? My last period was january 1st to january 5th...

im 16, my periods i think are starting to become more regular- they seem to last about 5 days. When does this mean im most fertile, is it still day 14 in the cycle? or is earlier because they dont last 7 days?

You absolutely risked pregnancy and unprotected sex any tie during your cycle risks pregnancy. However, there are times in the cycle in which you are more fertile. so, day one of your period is cycle day one. Counting from there, most women have about a 28 day cycle and ovulate around day 14 or 15. Ovulation lasts only 24 to 48 hours max, but sperm can live up to a week leading up to that.

having your mom hold the pills is a good idea,be carefull stopping the xanax you need to do a slow taper with it,and the withdrawal from xanax is very nasty worse than opiates,but it can be done,also go to the health pages and read up on there about the stuff you can do to help ease the discomfort ofw/d's especially the amino acid protocol it works wonders,post often and we will do all we can to help you through this,remember you are not alone we are all in this together

t quite understand your post. If it is cycle days, I take it as the earliest you would ovulate is CD13, and the latest would be CD22 with CD16 being the average. If you're using an ovulation calender to do this, these things aren't very accurate at all.

M period isn't here yet when I usually have a 28-35 day cycle. Are 6 tests that are negative in a course of a month proof I'm not pregnant? I got my period Feburary 1st and the last test I took was on April 11th and it was negative like the other 5 i took before that date.

He said to wait until the following month because I was only 17 at the time and the possibility of missing a period is common, especially with the things going on at the time. I took a few more tests between the time of going to the dr the first time and when af should have been due the following month. They all came out neg so I figured it really was just a missed period; that I didn't ovulate due to the stress.

Here is how a typical cycle goes--- Day one of your cycle is the very first day of your period. You start counting from there. THEN, you ovulate about midway through your cycle--- so for most women, that would be cycle day 14 or there abouts. Really, if not on birth control, consider yourself to be most fertile on day 14 but still quite vulnerable to pregnacy from day 10 of your cycle to day 20.

The first day of your period until the day you ovulate can vary but women usually ovulate between 14-35 days after your period. You can track this by counting back 14 days from your last period. Because the time between ovulation and getting your period can only be 14 days. If your period is ever late. It's because you ovulated late.

I know that technically the way provera causes your period is in the stopping of the provera. Since your body normally produces progesterone and then stops before af, it's the drop in progesterone that "activates" af. However, if you haven't been on it that many days, I could see how if you were actually about to get your period naturally, that you may just get it anyway. I personally think anything is possible.

Hi Gaby, Have you forgotten, how your cycle works, if you are getting your period, then you at the end of your cycle, and when its finished, will be day one of your new cycle, and so on, but you must be glad your of depo shot.

Keep a record or chart of the day you start your period and the day your period finishes. When you do this for a few months, you will see that there is a pattern of when your periods start and finish. By keeping a record of your period times, you will then be able to know when your menstrual cycle is due. Some doctor surgeries have a monthly chart they can give you to fill in, or you can do your own chart or jot it down on your calendar or diary.
