The first day of your menstrual period is counted as day one. During ovulation, the ovary releases an egg that travels down the fallopian tube into the uterus. If you have sexual intercourse between the 11th and 18th day of your cycle, you are more likely to become pregnant. You can become pregnant if you have sex during any time of your cycle. During intercourse, the sperm enters the vagina and travels through the cervix, into the uterus and fallopian tubes, where it fertilizes the egg.
Pregnancy occurs when the egg is fertilized by a sperm.
Most young people are fertile, which means that if the conditions are right and intercourse occurs, pregnancy is highly possible. Pregnancy is a serious matter. Whether wanted or unwanted, there is probably no other event in your life that will have a greater effect on your health and on your future. As soon as you think or know that you are pregnant, consult your parents or doctor care and guidance. If you are pregnant, you will miss a period.
