Question Me and my fiance are trying for a second child, we have a 5 year old boy and I had two terminated pregnancy. I get normal periods every 29 or 30 days. I'm normally on birth control off and on every other month but haven't had my nuvaring in since July. I had a period August 2nd and August 31st, when do you suggest I would ovulate? This month we had sex the 9th, 11th, 12th and 14th. On 9th, 11th, and 12th he ejaculated inside me fully on the 12th we didn't have sex until 11:30 so basically it was almost the 13th and he ejaculated with shallow penetration. On the 14th we had unprotected sex but I didn't let him ejaculate inside me. Is it possible that I would get pregnant this month and how long does sperm last inside you? And can you get pregnant if he ejaculated inside you with shallow penetration?"
Answer To answer your questions, Doreen:
Most women ovulate about 14 days before their next period begins.
Yes it's possible you'll get pregnant this month.
Sperm can last for up to 72 hours in the female reproductive tract (assuming all is "normal" with the sperm and the woman).
Yes, pregnancy can occur with shallow penetration.
Good luck!
