trying to conceive

I'm 20 years old and my boyfriend and I are trying to conceive. When's the best time to try and do that? I'm currently on my period and I heard the last day of your period and everyday when you're fertile. Help please.

Hi, you can not get pregnant after you ovulate.  :>)  Egg is gone.  Ovulation is 24 to 48 hours and once it is over, egg is gone.  But sperm lives for a few days and can impregnate a woman.  

Doctors recommend that on cycle day 10, you begin having sex EVERY OTHER day for the next 10 days.   that usually catches ovulation eventually.  good luck

Everybody ovulates differently but the average time is about two weeks after your period. You can buy an ovulation kit and that is the only way you'll know for sure. Good luck :)

It all depends on when you ovulate. You can get pregnant 3-4 days before you ovulate, the day, and the day after
