14 th day is ovulation period from last day of previous periods
a sperm introduced before 48 hours have tendency to fertilise egg
and eg has life of 48 hrs when it can be fertilised so roughly 2 days before and after are dangerous
avoid intercourse 12 thto 16 days or you may take one day extra to be sure
