But for natural conception, age rarely keeps women from getting pregnant until they are over 40. Even in their early 40s, though, most women are still able to get pregnant, especially if they use ovulation prediction.
No, it's not true! You can get pregnant before you have your first period, and many unplanned pregnancies happen just that way. To prevent pregnancy after you have your baby, you have to use birth control every time â even if you're breastfeeding. You're fertile around the time you ovulate, and you ovulate before you get your period, which can be anywhere from seven to 19 days before if you have a 28-day cycle, for example. You can get your period again from a month to over a year after having a baby.
