Frequently Asked Questions

Ovulation typically occurs around day 14 — 14 days before your next period. Your fertile window spans approximately days 9–15.

The egg is viable for only 12–24 hours. Your fertile window is longer because sperm survive 3–5 days waiting for ovulation.

Common signs: mid-cycle pelvic pain, egg-white cervical mucus, a slight rise in basal body temperature (0.2–0.5°C), and a positive LH surge on an ovulation test strip.
