ovulation

ok its a stupid question but is ther alway an egg waiting to be fertilized or do the eggs only come out to be fertilized when you ovulate or does ovulation simply mean you have more eggs coming out at once? what the chance of getting pregnant by havings sex every other day (sometimes every day 2x) without protection.

when the mirena is removed the hormones need chance to leave your body, this could be messing your cycle up, plus if you are stressing about it that might not be helping either.
if you really think you are pregnant and have had repeated negative pregnancy tests, then i'd say request a blood test to know for sure!

Hi,

no there isn't always an egg waiting to be fertilized, some women may ovulate twice in the same month on rare occasion, but it's a very short window where the sperm can fertilize an egg before it's too late and a period will follow. I think having sex every other day or twice a day would leave me shattered after a couple of weeks! but seriously if your fertile days haven't arrived or if they have finished then having sex every other day won't make the slightest difference...it's more for fun then! :D

Chances are good of becoming pregnant however it can take couples who are actively trying up to a year to fall pregnant. In most cases you only have one egg come out a cythatand that is only during ovulation. During that time there is only a little over 24 hours in which the egg can be fertilized and you can become pregnant.
