I am trying to get pregnant so have been following my fertile times for couple of months, my period normally lasts 5 days but this time it has lasted 11 days. Would my fertile time be at the same time as if it has been a normal period or at a different time ?

HI, I understand your query & concern. Fertile period is 3 days before & after the ovulation day.. as ovulation day is day when mature ovum is released from ovary ready for conception.& ovulation is 14 days before the expected date of menstruation. ( In 28 days cycle it is 14th day of menses ) Occasionally when menstrual cycle is disturbed due to hormonal disturbance.. ( like you have this time a prolonged menstruation ).. the begining of menstrual cycle itself may get late & so fertile period will vary. You can judge your ovulation by- -half a degree decline in basal body temprature. is indication of ovulation. - LH surge test indicates ovulation in 24- 36 hours of +ve test. Thanks.
