The best time to conceive is during your fertile window, which spans six days each cycle.
This fertile window includes the five days before ovulation and the day of ovulation itself.
Sperm can survive in the female reproductive tract for up to five days, waiting for the egg to be released.
The highest chance of conception occurs when you have intercourse one to two days before ovulation.
Ovulation typically happens mid-cycle, around day 14 in a 28-day cycle, but this varies for each person.
Tracking ovulation using basal body temperature, ovulation predictor kits, or cervical mucus changes can help pinpoint the best days to conceive.
