Trying to conceive? Knowing your menstrual cycle and identifying your fertile window is crucial. The "fertile window," the days when pregnancy is possible, depends on your individual cycle length.

Find Your Most Fertile Days Now →Pregnancy is technically possible only during the five days before ovulation or on the day of ovulation itself. However, the *most* fertile days are the three days leading up to and including ovulation.
How to Determine Your Most Fertile Days
Several methods can help you pinpoint ovulation:
- Track Your Menstrual Cycle: Record the first day of your period (day 1) and the length of your cycle. The last day of your cycle is the day before your next period begins. Use our Pregnancy Calculator & Ovulation Estimator to quickly identify your cycle length.
- Monitor Cervical Mucus: A few days before ovulation, you may notice your vaginal mucus becomes clear, slick, and slippery, like egg white. This is the best time to have intercourse, as sperm travel more easily in this type of mucus.
- Ovulation Predictor Kits (OPKs): These kits test your urine for luteinizing hormone (LH). A positive result indicates that ovulation is likely within 24-36 hours.
Improve Your Chances of Conception
Once you know your fertile window, consider these tips:
- Time Intercourse: Having sex every 1-2 days during your fertile window maximizes your chances.
- Maintain a Healthy Lifestyle: A balanced diet, regular exercise, and stress management can positively impact fertility.
Myth Busting

When to Seek Professional Help
If you've been trying to conceive for a year (or six months if you're over 35) without success, consult a health care provider. They can assess your overall health and identify any underlying fertility issues.
Preconception Health
Before trying to conceive, ensure you are in optimal health. This includes maintaining a healthy weight, avoiding smoking and excessive alcohol, and managing any existing medical conditions. Focus on preconception health to ensure the best possible start for your future child.
