How Does Ovulation Work?

Understanding your fertility cycle helps you plan for pregnancy

πŸŒ™
Phase 1

Start of cycle (period)

The cycle begins with menstruation. Hormones stimulate the ovaries to develop a new egg over the next 7–14 days.

🌸
Phase 2

Ovulation β€” peak fertility

The ovary releases a mature egg that lives only 12–24 hours. This is the best time to conceive β€” a short but precious window!

⏳
Phase 3

After ovulation

If no fertilisation occurs, hormones drop and a new cycle begins about 14 days later. If fertilised, pregnancy begins!

Frequently Asked Questions About Ovulation

When does ovulation occur in the menstrual cycle?
In a 28-day cycle, ovulation typically occurs around day 14. For shorter or longer cycles, the ovulation date changes. General formula: ovulation = cycle length minus 14. Example: a 32-day cycle means ovulation on day 18.
How long does the ovulation window last?
The released egg lives only 12–24 hours, but the fertility window spans 5–7 days because sperm can survive 3–5 days in the reproductive tract.
Can you get pregnant after ovulation?
Pregnancy chances drop sharply 24 hours after ovulation. The best window is 1–5 days before ovulation and on ovulation day itself, with peak chances on days -2 and -1.
What if my cycle is irregular?
If your cycle is irregular, it's difficult to calculate ovulation accurately. Recommended options: use LH ovulation test strips (available at pharmacies), track your basal body temperature daily, or consult a doctor if the problem persists.
