I Need answers

[NeverBeenBetter]

I'm 18 and about 6 months ago me and my boyfriend had sex without a condom and he didn't pull out and when I got home I noticed my period was 2 weeks before, I asked people about my chances of being pregnant and they told me they were very high, so I waited to see if my next period would come on and it did. I tried for almost a year before this without any luck! What should I do?

Hello,
Pregnancy occurs only during the time of ovulation. Ovulation is the release of a single, mature egg from a follicle that developed in the ovary. It usually occurs regularly, around day 14 of a 28-day menstrual cycle. The best timing of intercourse in order to conceive is day 10, 12, 14 and 16 (in case of late ovulation) of a 28 day cycle. So for conception try having unprotected intercourse during this time.

I hope it helps. It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided. For exact diagnosis, you are requested to consult your doctor. I sincerely hope that helps. Take care and please do keep me posted on how you are doing.
