Yes, if sexual intercourse occurs during ovulation time then you can get pregnant. Ovulation time is from day 12 to day 17 (first day of period counted as day 1) usually in women with regular periods. In women with iregular periods, ovulation can happen anytime, thereby not knowing the time to do sexual intercourse.

Yes, a 25-year-old woman with irregular periods can still get pregnant. However, predicting ovulation timing may be more challenging.
Irregular periods mean ovulation doesn't occur consistently, complicating conception timing.
Conception Tips: a. Track ovulation using basal body temperature or ovulation predictor kits. b. Consult a healthcare provider for personalized advice.
Medical Evaluation: a. Consider seeing a gynecologist or fertility specialist. b. Check for conditions like PCOS or thyroid issues, which can be managed to improve fertility.
Reassurance: Irregular periods don't prevent pregnancy, but medical guidance can enhance your conception journey.

Question

I'm wondering if there are any health risks involved with licking my husband's penis during sexual activities. He's in good health, but I just want to make sure there aren't any potential issues I should be aware of.

Question

I've always had regular periods, but I'm a bit worried because they're starting to get delayed. Last month, it was 10 days late, and now it's already been 12 days past the expected date, and still nothing. I haven't had intercourse, so I'm sure pregnancy isn't the issue. My period dates have been March 12, April 10, and May 19. Could you help me figure out what's going on?
