Once the egg misses the window, it's done until the next month. As @SugarplumsMom: said, the exception would be that 2nd egg, but that's rare.</p> <p>For someone who's not tracking their cycle at all (or not temping I should say) can absolutely get pregnant. They don't know when they're actually ovulating, and their TWW could very well be different than the standard. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-you-still-ttc-during-the-tww#post-1956052 Sat, 22 Nov 2014 12:23:36 +0000 pinkcupcake 1956052@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not sure if I understand the question, but you're only in the TWW (or luteal phase) once you have already ovulated. If the egg was fertilized and properly implants, then you are pregnant - if the egg was not fertilized, then the uterine lining starts to break down and you get your period. If you have truly ovulated and you are in the luteal phase, having sex won't do anything since there's no egg to fertilize. The only reason people say you can get pregnant anytime is because if you don't track your cycle, you don't know when you ovulate. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-you-still-ttc-during-the-tww#post-1953374 Thu, 20 Nov 2014 18:43:51 +0000 jedeve 1953374@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Well you can have sex whenever you want. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-you-still-ttc-during-the-tww#post-1953315 Thu, 20 Nov 2014 17:47:52 +0000 PurplePumps 1953315@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@pui: This. And DH actually thought that you really could get pregnant anytime and pretty much every time if you just had unprotected sex. Little did he know.... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-you-still-ttc-during-the-tww#post-1953288 Thu, 20 Nov 2014 17:32:25 +0000 pui 1953288@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think they teach more "Anytime you have sex, you can get pregnant", which is pretty true for anyone not tracking their cycle. For all you know, you are ovulating now if you don't pay attention to your cycle.</p> <p>In reality though, it is impossible to get pregnant by sex happening before the 6 days before you O and any day after you O. Really you need to aim to have sex in the three days you are most fertile, which is the 2 days before you O and O day. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-you-still-ttc-during-the-tww#post-1953276 Thu, 20 Nov 2014 17:27:00 +0000 MaryM 1953276@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm pretty sure high schoolers are told they can get pregnant any time because it's much easier than teaching them how to accurately chart their cycles.</p> <p>If your last two questions are serious, I'd highly suggest reading Taking Charge of Your Fertility. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-you-still-ttc-during-the-tww#post-1953273 Thu, 20 Nov 2014 17:25:51 +0000 SugarplumsMom 1953273@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've read that even if you happen to produce a second egg, they're released within 24 hours of each other. So technically yes, especially if you just happened to ovulate late, but it would most likely be from when you BD before your actually ovulated. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-you-still-ttc-during-the-tww#post-1953253 Thu, 20 Nov 2014 17:17:16 +0000 mrs scrapbook 1953253@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think the egg only has 12-24 hours to be fertilized once it's released. So at the very beginning of the TWW (like the day after O) it could be possible. But if you O'd late you could get pregnant during what you thought was the TWW. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-you-still-ttc-during-the-tww#post-1953250 Thu, 20 Nov 2014 17:16:37 +0000 Snowdrop 1953250@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>By definition it would be pointless as far as making babies goes because the egg would be dead or you would be pregnant already. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-you-still-ttc-during-the-tww#post-1953249 Thu, 20 Nov 2014 17:16:07 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 1953249@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No. Your hormones change after you ovulate. Maybe there is some slim chance you ovulate from both ovaries a few days apart but I doubt it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-you-still-ttc-during-the-tww#post-1953247 Thu, 20 Nov 2014 17:13:13 +0000 stiletto_mom 1953247@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Remember how they used to tell you in high school that you could get pregnant ANYTIME? Remember freaking out the first few times you did it without protection? Phantom symtoms etc hahaha.</p> <p>Do you think you can still TTC during the TTW? What are the chances it would be successful? </p>
