Also known as your fertile period, there are about seven days during your menstrual cycle when it is actually possible to get pregnant. These are considered to be your most fertile days. Technically, your fertility is highest during the five days before you ovulate, the day you ovulate (and maybe a day after that)...

The 'fertile window' depends on the length of the menstrual cycle, which varies among women. The 'fertile window' is the day an egg is released from the ovary (ovulation) and the five days beforehand. Having sex (intercourse) during this time gives you the best chance of getting pregnant.

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.

Ovulation will take place on day 14 of a 28-day cycle and the woman will remain fertile from roughly day 11 to day 17. For women with a five week cycle, ovulation is likely to take place on day 21. The unfertilised ovum, or egg, can only survive for about 12 hours.

This 'fertile window' is once a month, generally close to the time of ovulation when the woman ovulates and releases an egg approximately 2 weeks before the next period is due. Men do not have a 'fertile window' because sperm is continually formed and stored in the testicles, ready to be used at any time.

3. Have sex every other day during the fertile window. The "fertile window" spans a six-day interval, the five days prior to ovulation and the day of it, according to the American Society for Reproductive Medicine. These are the days each month when a woman is most fertile.

If your menstrual cycle lasts 28 days and your period arrives like clockwork, it's likely that you'll ovulate on day 14. That's halfway through your cycle. Your fertile window begins on day 10. You're more likely to get pregnant if you have sex at least every other day between days 10 and 14 of a 28-day cycle.

1﻿ This is because sperm can survive up to five days in the female reproductive tract. While you are possibly fertile for seven days out of your cycle, the odds of conceiving at the far ends of that time period are small. If you want to get pregnant, you should have sex one to two days before you ovulate.

You are at your most fertile the day you ovulate and the day before (generally 12-16 days before your next period starts). So if you have a short cycle, say 20 days, it's likely you'll ovulate well before day 14, and likewise if your cycle is long, say 35 days, you are more likely to ovulate around day 20.

The first step is to learn the days when you're most fertile. Most women have a 28-day menstrual cycle. That means you have about 6 days each month when you can get pregnant. That includes the day that one of your ovaries releases an egg, called ovulation, and the 5 days before.
