Hi, Thanks for the query. I understand your concern. Conceptionis possible with unprotected sex around 3days before &3 days after )the ovulation day. Ovulation day is 14 days priar to expected date of menses. There is no possibility of ovulation during menses .. so no chance of pregnancy in those days. So for conception have sex around ovulation date ( calculated as said abovein regular menstrual cycle/estimated exactly by LH surge test around expected ovulation )Have sex in those 6 days at least once a day or alternate day... for positive results. It's advisable to get semen analysis of your husband tested&treated as per need before you plan for a baby. Thanks.
