hope you were waiting for this response....
Ovulation occurs exactly 14 days BEFORE the next period. Those 14 days are called the LUTEAL PHASE and are constant. Differences in cycle length are due to variations in the first 10-20 days, the FOLLICULAR PHASE, so named because that's when the follicle is growing. Typically, egg and sperm both survive 48-72 hours. Taking all this into account, with a 28 day cycle, the most fertile time is 12-16 days from the FIRST DAY of the last period.
Of course so many things affect the follicular phase... and stress and, yes, even rape/sex can cause early ovulation (just recently discovered that rapes result in disproportionately more pregnancies than the same number of regular coital incidences.) So in other words, despite the best laid (no pun
) plans....
Emergency contraception, which should be available over-the-counter in this F*cking country is not...
it should be used within 72 hours and is most effective (>95%) if taken within 24 hours. Basically 4 of almost any birth control pill (NOT triphasics-may need 6 depending on which pills you use) followed 12 hours later by 4 more will do the trick. So keep 'em handy; I keep a pack in the glove compartment
The wet spot could have been anything, even urine. Some women may have bladder spasms during orgasm and if there's enough urine in the bladder...
Don't sweat it for now. If she misses her period by 1 or 2 days, the EPT or almost any other store test will pick up pregnancy as early as the first day of the missed period.
poohbear... "Ejaculation during rear entry intercourse, will have higher percentage of conception than
missionary. "
