You are carefully watching your ovulation chart and conducting pregnancy tests, and have a fair idea of your ovulation. But is it still possible that you can get a positive pregnancy test after a week past ovulation? The answer is in the affirmative though it is rarest of the rare case.
During your ovulation cycle, your ovary releases the ripest egg into the fallopian tube for fertilization. Popping up of most mature egg into fallopian tube is called ovulation. We are familiar with the process of fertilization. When a female gamete called egg meets with a sperm in a women’s fallopian tube, this phenomenon is known as fertilization. The lifespan of female gamete or egg is twenty four hours. So for conception the sperm has to reach that egg within twenty four hours. If the egg is not fertilized it will be shed out of your body through menstrual cycle. Then how come anyone be pregnant a week after ovulation?
We know that ovulation and periods happen at different times in your body. The best time for conceiving is when you ovulate. But there are many exceptions. Sometimes it is possible for the egg to survive for three or more days. So theoretically you have ovulated but egg is not out of your body. If you have an intercourse during these days you can get pregnant because the egg is still surviving past its prime. Though this is extremely uncommon.
You can conceive while having your periods. Suppose you have a very short menstrual cycle. An extremely short menstrual cycle makes it possible that you are ovulating and having periods at the same time. If you indulge in intercourse during this time it is possibility that you can conceive.
