Some people can wait months or even years to successfully conceive while others can conceive any time they have sex. The fertility of both partners highly influences the chances of getting pregnant after having sex. If one or both partners are infertile (e.g. menopausal, had a vasectomy or hysterectomy), it is basically impossible for the couple to become pregnant.
For women, the days leading up to ovulation and a day after ovulation are the times she is most likely to become pregnant after having sex, even if it’s her first time. While pregnancy is less likely during other times in the menstruation cycle, having unprotected sex always carries a chance of resulting in pregnancy.
Chances of conception are very high if you have sex on the day of ovulation
Despite the dangers of teenage pregnancy, teens and young adults will engage in sex– or at least think about it. Oftentimes, young people become sexually active yet do not fully grasp concepts related to sex education like fertilization, conception, and pregnancy.
If a couple’s “first time” is within the fertile window, the possibility of pregnancy is at its peak. The fertile window includes the day of ovulation (when the egg is released) plus the five days before and one day after ovulation. When a woman’s period is more than 10 days late after having sex for the first time, you should buy a pregnancy test to check at home to see if you are pregnant or not.
