Calculate Your Fertile Window →Key Phases After Ovulation
After ovulation, the luteal phase begins. During this time, your body prepares for potential implantation. Key events include:
- Hormone Shifts: Progesterone levels rise, thickening the uterine lining.
- Fertilization Window: If fertilization occurs, it typically happens within 12-24 hours of ovulation.
- Implantation: A fertilized egg needs to implant in the uterine lining, typically 6-12 days after ovulation. See also: implantation bleeding.
- Waiting to Test: Knowing approximately when ovulation occurred is helpful to accurately plan when to take a pregnancy test.
