Since we know that ovulation is the key to conception, many couples are keen to know when is the best time to have intercourse to get pregnant. If we really look at it, there is a window of 12 to 24 hour period, where a woman can conceive. This is because the egg is available in the woman’s fallopian tubes in this time window for the sperm to reach it and fertilize it.

So how do you know the best time for conception? The answer is – time of ovulation. By understanding your ovulation cycle, you can target the optimal time frame to get pregnant.

What is ovulation?

Ovulation is the time when an egg is released from the ovary so that it may travel down the fallopian tube and become fertilized by a sperm. During ovulation, the lining wall of the uterus thickens so that a fertilized egg can get implanted and the pregnancy can continue.

Facts about ovulation:

• An egg is available for fertilization only for 12 to 24 hours.

• Usually, only one egg is released during each cycle.

• Ovulation often rotates between ovaries.

• Light bleeding may occur during ovulation.

• It is possible to ovulate even if the menstrual cycle has not occurred.
