  When Can Women Get Pregnant?  
  A woman is said to be pregnant if she is carrying one or more offspring, known as fetus or embryo, inside her uterus. This happens during sexual intercourse, when a male sperm unites with a female gamete or egg.

Pregnancy and Menstrual Cycle
Menstrual Cycle is a cyclic change or development which takes place inside a woman's body. To be pregnant or to avoid pregnancy one needs to understand the menstrual cycle well. Understanding menstrual cycle helps in determining woman's best fertile days or her ovulation period, thus increasing her chances of getting pregnant. One must know that there are approximately 7 days during a woman's menstrual cycle which can be said to be the fertile period for pregnancy. The day when a woman releases egg is the first fertile period. The day after the egg released is the second fertile period. The third fertile period is the 7 days before the egg is released. The egg released is very short-lived and is said to be alive for 24 hours only. Hence the chances of getting pregnant decreases soon after the egg have been released. So, one can understand how short the fertile period is. Also the menstrual cycles are irregular in different women. So a woman needs to understand her menstrual cycle and predict her ovulation period, thereby enhancing the chances of getting pregnant.

We can divide the menstrual cycle into 2 parts. The first part is the pre-ovulation. During pre-ovulation bleeding begins on Day 1 which may last for 3 to 5 days. Between the 7th and 11th day, changes in the menstrual fluids takes place. The egg in the ovaries ripens and is released after the 11th day. The egg then enters the fallopian tubes.

The second part is called post-ovulation. When ovulation is about to occur, woman may feel increase in their body temperature. If now a sperm unites with the egg and fertilization occurs then one can say that pregnancy has begun. But if the egg does not get fertilize, it dies in 24 hours and the menstrual cycle repeats.

The release of egg or ovulation for women with a menstrual cycle of 28 days should occur on the 14th day. So a woman wanting to be pregnant should start having physical relationship on alternate days, starting from the 10th day of her menstrual cycle.


Yes. Woman is Pregnant.
If a normal woman has missed her menstrual period, then one can think that there are chances of her being pregnant. If she has also missed her second menstrual period then the chances are more likely that she is pregnant. There are various pregnancy tests available in the market which one can buy and test oneself for positive results. Visit your doctor immediately.
