Can you get pregnant on day 6?

Published in Fertility & Pregnancy 2 mins read

It's possible to get pregnant on day 6 of your cycle, but it's less likely than other days in your fertile window. While the average menstrual cycle is 28 days, it's possible to have shorter cycles. If you ovulate earlier than expected, you could be fertile on day 6.

Here's why:

  • Sperm can live in your body for up to 5 days. If you have sex on day 6 and you ovulate on day 11, the sperm could still be viable to fertilize the egg.
  • Your fertile window includes the 5 days before ovulation. This means that you are most fertile on the day you ovulate and the day before. However, you can also get pregnant in the days leading up to ovulation.
  • The timing of ovulation can vary. It's not always on day 14 of your cycle, so if your cycle is shorter, you could ovulate earlier and be fertile on day 6.

Overall, while it's possible to get pregnant on day 6, it's not the most common day for conception. The best way to determine your fertile window is to track your cycle and use ovulation predictor kits.
