Ovulation: The ovary releases an egg Hormones associated with the menstrual cycle (period) cause eggs inside the ovaries to mature. Every 28 days or so, one mature egg is released from the ovary. This is called ovulation. After the egg is released, it moves into the fallopian tube where it stays for about 24 hours.

Ovulation normally occurs 24 to 36 hours after the LH surge, which is why the LH surge is a good predictor of peak fertility. The egg can only be fertilized for up to 24 hours after ovulation. If it isn't fertilized the lining of the womb is shed (the egg is lost with it) and your period begins.

The implantation of a fertilized egg is estimated to take place about 9 days (+/-) after ovulation. So, once conception has taken place, the blastocyst has to travel up into the uterus, and then implantation takes place once the blastocyst has found the spot in the uterine wall that it wants to attach to.

After ovulation, if you are not pregnant, within 48 hours, the egg moves along the fallopian tubes, disintegrates and is absorbed back into the body. The corpus luteum survives and continues to produce progesterone for around 12 to 14 days.

Implantation of a fertilized egg normally takes place 6-12 days after ovulation. Each woman is born with millions of immature eggs that are awaiting ovulation to begin. A menstrual period can occur even if ovulation has not occurred.

The best time to have sex to conceive varies Ovulation lasts for 12 to 48 hours, but you are potentially fertile for up to seven days, and maybe up to 10 days, according to the most optimistic studies.

How long do the sperm and egg live and when is the best time to have sex? An egg lives for about 12-24 hours after you ovulate, and sperm can live for five to seven days.

Once the egg is released, you have ovulated. The egg can be fertilised up to 24 hours after ovulation, as it makes its way along the fallopian tube to the uterus. If it's been successfully fertilised by a sperm, it will then implant into your uterus lining and start to develop into a baby.

If you have a 28-day cycle, your ovary likely releases an egg 14 days after the first day of your last period, although the timing can vary. If your cycles last 35 days or longer, you probably ovulate at day 21 or later.

The fertilized egg stays in the fallopian tube for about 3 to 4 days. But within 24 hours of being fertilized, it starts dividing fast into many cells. It keeps dividing as it moves slowly through the fallopian tube to the uterus.

When are You Most Fertile? During ovulation, an egg is only available to be fertilized for about 12-24 hours. But sperm can live in the body for 3-5 days after sex and the egg is available for one day, so your most fertile time is about 5-7 days.

The fact is, there's still only one way to get pregnant -- by a sperm fertilizing the woman's egg, which can happen for only about 12 to 24 hours after ovulation -- approximately 14 days before the end of a woman's monthly cycle. Ovulation sometimes can be harder to predict if a woman's cycles are irregular.

After ovulation the egg lives for 12 to 24 hours and must be fertilised in that time if a woman is to become pregnant. The burst of oestrogen just before ovulation also works inside the neck of the uterus (the cervix) to make protein-rich clear jelly that covers the top of the vagina during sex.

The entire LH surge lasts about 2 days. The Egg lives up to 24 hours after ovulation. Beyond 24 hours, the chance of conceiving is zero [2]. Your fertile window starts from the day of Estrogen surge, reaches peak fertility at LH surge, and ends at 24 hours after ovulation.

You're most likely to get pregnant if you have sex within a day or so of ovulation (releasing an egg from the ovary). This is usually about 14 days after the first day of your last period, if your cycle is around 28 days long. An egg lives for about 12-24 hours after being released.

Even though the egg is only viable for 24 hours, sperm are able to survive inside a female body and fertilize the egg for up to five days after intercourse, so any intercourse within five days of ovulation could result in conception - hence, this window of time is called the fertile window.
