Brief Answer:
The chances of conception in one period cycle are 25%

Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Welcome to Healthcare Magic.
I am Dr Ramadevi Wani. I will be answering your concerns today.
For young women like you the chance of getting pregnant in each period cycle are 25%. So this is normal. In a year the chances of conception are about 80%.
If you have regular cycles in all probability you are ovulating. So don't worry.

To increase your chances of conception you both must maintain noral BMI, quit smoking( if applicable) and have intercourse atleast 3-4 times in a week.
I hope this helps.
If you have further concerns, do write to me.

We have been having intercourse almost daily. As long as its normal that's fine I have a 21-22 day cycle so I basically ovulate right after my period ends maybe that could be a problem?

Brief Answer:
21-22day period cycle is not a problem.

Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Welcome back.

With 21-22 days cycle you ovulate on 7th or 8th day of cycle. In that case the most fertile days are Day 5,6 and 7. This is not a problem at all.

If you have further concerns, do write to me.

Best wishes,
Dr Rama

So basically your fertile the minute your period is over?

Brief Answer:
Ovulation always occurs about two weeks before the next period.

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Welcome back.

10th-16th day fertile period is for women having 28 days cycle.
For you the fertile days are 5th-8th day of cycle.

Ovulation always occurs about two weeks before the next period. So yes, basically you are fertile the minute your period is over.

I hope this helps.
If you further concerns, I will be happy to answer.

Brief Answer:
Take a tablet of folic acid daily

Detailed Answer:
Hi Miss XXXXXXX

You are a healthy woman in your most fertile years. So stop worrying and relax. Stress of any sort (physical or mental ) can cause hormonal imbalance.

Do take a tablet of folic acid daily to lower the risk of birth defects of spine and brain.

If you have further concerns, do write to me. I will be happy to answer.

Best wishes,
Dr Rama
