Learn more about ovulation: A guide to peak fertility

What is Ovulation?

Ovulation is a natural process in which a mature egg is released from a woman's ovary. This egg is released into women's bodies every month, and this process is called ovulation. If this egg is found by sperm, pregnancy can occur. If not, the egg is shed along with the uterine lining, which is called menstruation.

How to determine the time of ovulation?

The length of your menstrual cycle is important for determining the exact time of ovulation. Normally, ovulation occurs about 14 days before your period.

• If the menstrual cycle is 28 days long: The day of ovulation will be the 14th.
• If the menstrual cycle is 32 days long: The day of ovulation will be the 18th.

Keep in mind that this calculation may vary for all women.

Tips for peak fertility

• Sperm can survive in the female body for about 4-5 days.
• It is recommended to have intercourse four days before and one day after the day of ovulation.

Conclusion
