Pregnancy scares: most people have one at some point. So how worried should a person be after sex? Here are eight questions and our best answer for each. Yes, yes, and yes! Ovulation, when an egg is released from the ovary, usually occurs about 14 days after the start of your last period.

How you go about it — from how much or how little you wear to how far you go — depends on what you want from it. You can do it fully clothed or in your underwear.
