Understanding the Fertile Window

The fertile window encompasses the five days leading up to ovulation and the day of ovulation itself. An egg is viable for fertilization for only 24 hours after ovulation, while sperm can live within the female reproductive tract for up to five days. This means that engaging in intercourse both before and during ovulation maximizes the chances of conception. It's crucial to tailor the timing of intercourse based on individual menstrual cycle lengths to effectively target fertile days, as those days can vary significantly from one individual to another.
