Stupid question but do you have to ovulate to get pregnant?

Question

How does it work. I heard you won’t get pregnant within a week before your period but I just saw a post saying you can get pregnant anytime? Let’s say you ovulate in the middle of the month and then have sex 4 days before period can you get pregnant the time you have sex 4 days before your period?

Answer

Yes ovulation is required to get pregnant. Most women ovulate around the same time every month typically around cycle day 14. Other people can ovulate early or late too. If you happen to ovulate later in your cycle one month, then you could get pregnant a week before when you expect your period. But the your period will be late because of the late ovulation. My ovulation tends to happen early in my cycle sometimes just a a few days after my period, other people ovulate when it is common and typical to, and others ovulate later in the cycle and have a longer cycle because of it. But yes ovulation is required to get pregnant. If you don’t ovulate at all, you won’t get pregnant.

Answer

You have to be ovulating to get pregnant

Answer

You must ovulate to get pregnant. There must be an egg for the sperm to fertilize or you will never get pregnant. 
The trick is knowing when your ovulate occurs

Answer

You need to ovulate to fall pregnant however your body can decide to ovulate at any time. So you can ovulate on sat CD13 this month but next month your body might only ovulate on CD20 or possibly even earlier on CD10, for example. And there's no warning or anything that this will happen which is why they say you can fall pregnant at any time.

Answer

“Anytime” means you can ovulate at “anytime”. Majority ovulate 2 weeks from their period give or take but there’s some women who ovulate near their period

Answer

People say you can get pregnant any time, because unless you're actively tracking ovulation any time is risky. I usually ovulated on cd14, but not always.

Answer

Unless you’re actually tracking ovulation you could ovulate anytime and not know it. You can ovulate shortly after your period and sperm can live for up to 5 days in your system so you’re not even “safe” on your period. Basically, if you don’t want a baby, don’t have unprotected sex.

Answer

Nope, you can only get pregnant during ovulation. If you have sex a day or two before ovulation you can get pregnant then too because sperm can live in your body for a few days. Also with that being said some women will ovulate at different times, instead of two weeks after your period it could be a week after or even three weeks after. To be able to determine the exact time you would have to take an ovulation test.

Answer

You have to be near ovulation to be able to get pregnant, as that is when an egg is released - as long as there are no underlying issues.
