What Are The Symptoms Of Ovulation?

Dear Ask The Doctor: Hello My husnband and I are not using any type of birth control. I have been off of the pill for almost three months now. My periods have returned back to normal. We were using condoms up until this month. We have decided to not use any protection and see if we get pregnant without the pressure of "trying" to get pregnant. I started my period on July 4th. On July 10th, 11th and 12th we had unprotected sex. According to my calendar I am fertile on July 13th through July 18th and ovulating on July 18th. On July 14th I started having ovulation pains

and a egg youlk type discharge. The last time we had unprotected sex was on July 12th. Could I be pregnant? Or was it too far away from ovulation? How can I tell when I am ovulating? Does the sticky egg yolk discahrge indicate that I am ovulating? Thank you

Hello dear,I understand your concern.In my opinion the fertile period can be predicted in case of only regular cycles.3 days on either side of predicted ovulation date comes under fertile period.So intercourse during this period increases the pregnancy chances.As your predicted ovulation date is 18 th the fertile period comes between 15 th to 21st.And july 12 is far from ovulation.The lifespan of ovum is 12-24 hours and sperm is 24-48 hours.I suggest you to participate on alternative days and regularly during the fertile period to increase the conception chances.Avoid stress.
