When is the best time to get pregnant?
Its long but its worth it. The best time to get pregnant is the period of ovulation which is the most fertile period. This is the period when a mature ovum is released into the uterus from the follicles. The ovum is ripe for fertilization and stays that way for about 12 hours after which it starts to degenerate. Many couples determine the ovulation period and have sexual intercourse at that time to increase the chances of pregnancy. It is usually said that the best time of month to get pregnant is the 14th day of the menstrual cycle for women who have a 28 day menstrual cycle. People usually determine when the next period is due and count back 12 to 16 days and have sexual intercourse to increase the odds of getting pregnant. One common method of finding out the best time to get pregnant is counting days. To do this, figure out when your next period is due. From this date, count back 12 to 16 days. This will give you a range of days when you will probably be ovulating. In normal case,
The period of time between ovulation and the first day of the menstrual period is known as the ‘Luteal Phase’ sometimes referred to as the ‘Post Ovulation Time’. The length of the luteal phase is fixed and in the majority of women lasts for exactly 14 days. This number can vary with some women having a luteal phase of 15 or 16 days and others as short as 12 days, but, whatever the length of your luteal phase, it is always constant being the same number of days long, month in – month out… even if you have irregular periods. If you do have an irregular cycle then the ‘irregular’ part of the cycle is the first part up to ovulation. Once ovulation has occurred then your period will start exactly 14 days later (or however many days long your luteal phase is) unless of course fertilization has occurred. What is the optimum moment for fertilization to occur? Obviously this should be around the time of ovulation. The ovum will survive for a period of 12 hours or so in which it is capable of
