Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
Since your husband was with you till 8th August- Day16 of your period, the chances of conception are high in this cycle. The fertile period of the cycle is considered from day 9 to day 16 in a regular 28 day cycle.
You can check for pregnancy when your periods are overdue. You have to wait till 25th August and if you do not get any periods till then, do check a morning sample of urine for pregnancy using a pregnancy kit available at all the pharmacies.
Hope this answers your query. I will be glad to answer the follow up queries that you have.
Please accept my answer in case you do not have further queries.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.

Hello.
Thanks for writing again.
In a 30 day cycle, the fertile days are from day 11 to day 18. Taking folic acid is good before conception as it decreases the neural tube defects in the baby.
Eat a diet that includes whole, unprocessed foods. The best foods for health in general, and also for conception, are whole grains, legumes, vegetables, fruits, nuts, and seed. Avoid alcohol, smoking, take more of proteins and fresh vegetables. Minerals like zinc & selenium, amino acids like l-carnitine, and antioxidants like Vitamin C and Vitamin E are also very helpful.
Hope my answer is helpful.
