@twinblessingmedicine: HOW TO KNOW YOUR OVULATION DAY AND 'FREE PERIOD' Ovulation is when a mature egg is released from your ovary. It usually happens about 14 days BEFORE your period starts. #fertilityandpregnacyhealth To know your ovulation day 1. Determine your cycle length e.g. 28, 35, or 25-day cycle 2. Subtract 14 days from your cycle length 3. The result is your approximate ovulation day Your "Fertile Window" is about 5 days before and including your ovulation day! See examples below. Example 1 If your average menstrual cycle is 28 days, you ovulate around day 14 (i.e. 28 - 14 = 14). The most fertile days in your cycle would be days 12, 13 and 14. Example 2 If your average menstrual cycle is longer, say 35 days, ovulation should occur around day 21 (i.e. 35 - 14 = 21). The most fertile days in your cycle would be days 19, 20 and 21. Example 3 If your period is shorter, say 25 days, ovulation would normally occur at around day 11 (i.e. 25 - 14 = 11). The most fertile days in your cycle will be days 9, 10 and 11. A woman can only get pregnant on a few days during her menstrual cycle because eggs and sperm only live for a short time. Sperm live for around 5 days while eggs can only be fertilised for around 1 day. Both need to come together at the right time for fertilization to happen. So pregnancy is possible if you have sex within 5 days before ovulation or on the ovulation day. But the most fertile days are 2 days before your ovulation plus the violation day itself (making 3 days). Having sex during this time gives you the best chance of getting pregnant. From what we said above, there's almost zero chance that you'll get pregnant if you have sex BEFORE or AFTER your fertile window. So the remaining part of your cycle minus your fertile window is your SAFE PERIOD. But if you’re trying to avoid getting pregnant, use contraception instead of relying on the safe period. This is because you might miscalculate your ovulation, especially if your period is not regular.
