Identify your most fertile days to increase chances of conception.
--
The most fertile days are usually the 2-3 days before and including ovulation.
The fertile window is the time during your menstrual cycle when pregnancy is possible. Sperm can live inside the female body for up to five days, but an egg is only viable for about 12-24 hours after release.
To maximize your chances of conception, it's best to have intercourse during the three days leading up to and including the day of ovulation. Our calculator estimates this by subtracting 14 days (the standard luteal phase length) from your average cycle length.
Tracking your cervical mucus is a great way to confirm what the calculator says. When you see clear, stretchy mucus (like raw egg whites), you are in your most fertile phase!
