Hello and welcome to HCM,
In order to know your fertile days when you can conceive, you need to understand some basic facts.
Conception occurs on the day of ovulation.
Ovulation occurs 14 days prior to onset of menstruation.
So, in a normal 28 day cycle, ovulation is midway.
A week after menstrual cycle is not really the fertile period.
The fertile period starts from 10th day to 18th day of normal 28 day cycle.
Thanks and take care
