    My period tracker app has my fertility window going one day past ovulation. Does this mean you can get pregnant agre ovulating or is it just a general window?

    Hi everyone...it's my first time trying to conceive. During my fertile days we have been intimate all days while fertile and during my ovulation. How big are my chances of getting pregnant first time trying 🤔 😅 🙃
