Grab a test! (For anyone wondering if they're pregnant)

Larry Edwards3 said:I was wondering what you all think—is it actually possible for some women to be constantly fertile, regardless of when they ovulate? Or am I just looking at a strange medical phenomenon here? To give you some context, way back before my son was born, I somehow managed to get pregnant just one day after my period ended. It never even crossed my mind that I could be pregnant; my cycles had always been a bit unpredictable, though they usually stayed within a 30-day range. Unfortunately, that particular pregnancy resulted in a blighted ovum. Later on, I conceived right in the middle of my cycle, exactly when ovulation was supposed to happen, and that’s when I had my little boy. Since giving birth, my cycles have been incredibly regular, usually arriving every 28 to 30 days. BUT... today marks day 34 of my cycle and my period still hasn't shown up. Honestly, everything would be fine if my husband and I weren't currently not using protection; we actually had unprotected sex three days ago, right when I thought my period was imminent. I truly believed it was impossible to conceive if my period was just around the corner, but well, here we are, and nothing has happened yet. What do you guys think the chances are for getting pregnant at the very end of a cycle? If I don't see anything by tomorrow, I'll probably take a test, though theoretically, I don't really think I'm pregnant. I am still breastfeeding my two-year-old, but up until now, my cycles have been quite steady without any delays...
I don't think so. It comes down to ovulation; it doesn't happen at the exact same time every single month.
