The best time to get pregnant You're most likely to get pregnant if you have sex within a day or so of ovulation (releasing an egg from the ovary). This is usually about 14 days after the first day of your last period, if your cycle is around 28 days long. An egg lives for about 12-24 hours after being released.

The best time to get pregnant For pregnancy to happen, the egg must be fertilised by a sperm within this time. Sperm can live for up to 7 days inside a woman's body. So if you've had sex in the days before ovulation, the sperm will have had time to travel up the fallopian tubes to "wait" for the egg to be released.

It's possible you could bleed during ovulation when you're most fertile. This could easily be mistaken for a period. Having unprotected sex at this time dramatically increases your chances of becoming pregnant.

For women who have regular periods it is straightforward to work out the most fertile time of the month. Ovulation will take place on day 14 of a 28-day cycle and the woman will remain fertile from roughly day 11 to day 17. For women with a five week cycle, ovulation is likely to take place on day 21.

It's possible to get pregnant at any time of the month. Once the egg has gone (usually within a day of ovulation) you cannot get pregnant until after your next menstrual cycle has started. Methods that tell you after you have ovulated are of no help if you are trying to conceive.

Your fertile window Conception is possible during the 'fertile window' – the five days leading up to, plus the day of ovulation. The chance of you becoming pregnant is greatest if you have sex during the two days leading up to or on the day of ovulation.

The days during each cycle when you are most fertile, and therefore most likely to get pregnant from unprotected sex, are the day of ovulation and the day before – these are the two days of peak fertility.

The five days before ovulation, together with the day you ovulate, are the days when you are most likely to conceive. Sperm can live up to five days inside your body, so if you have sex up to five days before your egg is released, you can get pregnant.

And to conceive a girl, you should have sex either two to three days before ovulation or on the day of ovulation. Critics of this method say that having sex four to six days before ovulation is way too far away from the release of the egg to even get pregnant, since sperm can't survive that long.

You're most fertile at the time of ovulation (when an egg is released from your ovaries), which usually occurs 12 to 14 days before your next period starts. This is the time of the month when you're most likely to get pregnant.

Ovulation is the name of the process that happens usually once in every menstrual cycle when hormone changes trigger an ovary to release an egg. You can only become pregnant if a sperm fertilises an egg. Ovulation usually happens 12 to 16 days before your next period starts. The eggs are contained in your ovaries.

There's no absolute 'safe' time although there are certainly times when your risk of conceiving is higher. If you have irregular menstrual cycles, then it becomes difficult to predict when ovulation may occur and there's a chance you could ovulate earlier than you would expect during a regular cycle.

In a 24-day cycle, ovulation happens around day ten and the most fertile days are days seven to ten. If a woman has sex six or more days before she ovulates, the chance she will get pregnant is virtually zero.

You can have sex a million times, but if you're not in the right part of your cycle, it won't result in pregnancy. Sex as early as 5 days before ovulation can lead to conception, but the chances are highest with sex the day immediately before the egg is released.

"In general, every other night around the time of ovulation helps increase your chance of getting pregnant," Goldfarb says. Sperm can live up to 5 days inside your body. The best suggestion is to have sex regularly -- when you're ovulating, and when you're not.

An active sex life is all most people need to conceive. If you know when you ovulate each month you can give yourself the best chance of getting pregnant by having sex in the days leading up to ovulation. Continue having sex during ovulation. After this your fertile time will be over for that cycle.

In a 28-day cycle, ovulation typically occurs around day 14 and the chance of conceiving is greatest between days 11 and 14. In longer cycles, say 35 days between periods, ovulation happens around day 21 and days 18 to 21 are the most fertile days.
