According to the ovulation calendar I am suppose to ovulate from feb. 21-28. I have a 34 day cycle and had intercourse today, my very fertile day is on feb 27th. I am not sure if the ovulation calendars are accurate. Is there any chance I could get pregnant?

While these calculators can be successful for some women it does not for every woman. If  you have had a 33 day cycle for as long ad you can rememember or for some time now then an ovulation calculator can help you for sure. But if your cycle changes every month then I would not rely  on these ovulation calculators.  But instead try using ovulation kits. You may want to have sex 2-3 days before you ovulate.

HI,
Ovulation calendar is a good method of ovulation tracking and there are success stories of women conceiving using the calendar. However it is necessary that you feed in the data correctly. It is necessary to note that a woman’s fertile window starts about 4 to 5 days before ovulation and ends about 24 to 48 hours after it. Also ovulation is difficult to predict in prolonged and irregular cycles.
Hence if periods are missed a home pregnancy test can be taken.
