Pregnancy Info HOME

The fertile window in a 28 day cycle is about days 8 through 16. This is based on the idea that sperm can last inside you for 5 days, the egg is only good for 1 day after ovulation, and ovulation occurs 14 days before your next period. If your period is not regular 28 days, you need to make adjustments. Ovulation occurs in some women earlier or later than the 14 quoted. It helps to learn your signs of ovulation including ovulation cramping, fertile vaginal mucus (slippery and stretchy, like raw egg white), and cervical position (Soft, High, Open Wet). If you avoid the fertile window altogether, and use condoms the rest of the time, you are unlikely to get pregnant. GL!
