WOW you have everyone confused.. HAHAHA

The first day of your Last menstral period is considered CD 1  If you have a 28 day cycle you are most fertile around CD 14.  Your boyfriends sperm can live for 72 hours inside of you when he ejaculates.  If you and your boyfriend are interested in conceiving a child, you should do some research on fertility methods.. it will be the easiest way to keep track.  

A pregnancy test will work 10 days after fertilization and usually no sooner..

Good luck!!

Also, you can buy cheap ovulation kits over the counter that
can help you determine the days you are most fertile.

were do people get there information from these days.

You won't get an accurate reading on a hpt until you are due for your NEXT period.  If you had sex last night and are on the last day of your period, then you're going to be ovulating in the next week or so.  So, if you have long-living sperm and an early ovulation then you could get pg, but you won't be able to take a test until you're due for your next period.

A textbook cycle works like this:
Cycle Day 1 - the day you start your period
Cycle Day 14 - ovulation
Cycle Day 28 - the start of your next period, a.k.a. Cycle Day 1 of your next cycle.

However, CD 14 is only the textbook body and there are many variations to it.  You might ovulate early, you might ovulate late... the only way to know for sure is to watch for bodily signs and/or take your BBT everyday and chart it.  You can use www.google.com to research it too.  Type "ovulation" or "menstral cycle" and read, read, read.   There is mountains of information, more than we could ever type.  But the basics are above.

Good luck!!

how long is your average cycle? that will give you a better insite on the times to have sex. for example i'll do my cycle
28days ovulation around day 14, best to have sex from day 10-15. it does vary from person to person as everyone is different!!! if you are trying to conceive it is better to know a lot about your menstural cycle. although from my own experience you can read a little to much into it and get your hopes up to much! if you want help i'd be happy to help!!!

Chances are pretty slim you are pg. Normally I wouldn't say this, but maybe you guys should take some time and really think about it. Start tracking your cycle, educate yourself about your body and how your cycle works, and make sure you are in a place emotionally and financially to care for a child. It is a major commitment, I had my first at 23. By that time I had been with my dh for 4 years, married for 18 months, and it was a major adjustment.

Good luck to you and your spouse and your future plans for a family.
