OK in response to Rachelle & Alice who say they are confused, here are my own thoughts on it. It is confusing because it's not actually based on fact, rather on the pattern of lunar cycles and astrology (correct me if I'm wrong).
It's a bit like reading your horoscope and has something to do with the position of the moon at the time of your birth and how that effects you monthly through your life.
I have keyed in my date and time of birth and started the calculation from the 1st of January 2008, which has brought up a list of dates according to the Jonas Method of when I am
more likely to conceive. As you will have seen it can be any time during your cycle and not necessarily around the time you believe you ovulate. This can incredibly include times during your AF and there are people who have conceived after having intercourse during these obscure times, but I can't find any concrete explanation as to why. I suspect their cycles were unusual in some way or another and perhaps these people had extra long menses and/or ovulated a day or two following their period. After all, we all know sperm can live up to five days in certain women in the uterus, so I reckon this phenomenon could be explained by this.
Having looked at my own past cycles, I can see that I haven't yet had intercourse at any of the predicted dates suggested by the Jonas calendar except today, so for that reason alone, I am going to enjoy waiting to see if I achieve a lucky coincidence.
Astronomy after all is a form of science that is based on a series of mathematical forumula. All the hypotheses are made all the more interesting or unbelievable (depending on your outlook) by the additional factors of planets and stars etc. Many people will poo poo it as soon as they read that their 'moon was in Aries' at the time of their birth. I have no idea what this means but apparently that's where my moon was at 3 am on the 3rd of May all those years ago. I don't think my mother knew but I would imagine it was the last thing on her mind.
