Yes, your comment worked. And yes, women can ovulate earlier or later than 14 days. The 14 days is really just an average based on a 28-day cycle. That is why they say there really is no "safe time" to have unprotected sex if you are not wanting to get pregnant, because a woman's cycle can change unexpectedly depending on many factors such as diet, exercise, illness, hormones, etc. Hope that makes sense. Check out the EmpowHER menstrual cycle page for more information about what's considered "normal."
