Question

How did I become pregnant on day 9 of my cycle?

I now have a three month old baby. My question is this: I had my period on July 10th, and it lasted about three days. Then, the only time I had s*x with my husband that month was the night of July 18th (could have been 1 or 2 a.m., so maybe early July 19th). My husband had just gotten back from ten months of being gone for Marine Corps training. My 9 week sonogram showed conception on July 19th. My cycles are generally about thirty days long. So, I am thinking, to get pregnant only a few days after my last period was not so probable? I thought ovulation would be closer to day 14-16 for me, since I have a thirty day cycle. Also, we used the withdrawal method, and it was a successful "withdrawal". I know the withdrawal method is not the best method to use (obviously haha). I just think it is funny; God must have really wanted me to have my baby :)

I am just wondering...do I ovulate very early...or am I just really fertile?

Thanks for your help :) Sorry this is such a personal ?..

Answer 1

wot do u luk lak

Answer 2

It's absolutely possible to ovulate that early in your cycle, just as it's possible to ovulate on day 27 of a 32 day cycle (that's me;o).  

Also, those sonograms aren't exact.  They are measuring growth, which isn't an exact science.  Every baby is a little different, + or - a few days.

Answer 3

You either ovulate early or you had fertile CM and it carried through until your Ovulation date.

Answer 4

Periods are always spiratic after you have a baby. It's very likely that you ovulated early. Your hormones are all over the place. That's crazy! Congratulations and I really wish you the best! :)

Answer 5

Probably both, you ovulated early and you are obviously really fertile.  Congrats, and thanks to both you and your hubby for your willingness to serve in the marines.

Answer 6

Well yes it is personal. And well yes kinda funny.

Seriously, you ovulate I think 10-14 days before your next period.

However, in between your being more furtile from having your baby, and your husband having a lot of "pent up energies" that is why you got pregnant so easily again.

I wish the best for you... also wish I were in the same condition. But that may never be.

Accept it as a blessing that it is... and continue on with your loving family.
