can live up to five days if it's trapped in fertile cervical mucus 二0 一 四;so it behooves you to get a few of his swi妹妹ers in place. "One study showed that people who had sex only one time during this phase, even four to five days before ovulation, still got pregnant," says Steven R. Bayer, M.D., a reproductive endocrinologist at Boston IVF fertility clinic in Boston.

Your chances of conceiving: Good. An egg isn't technically released during this phase, but you'll want to step up your sexual routine in the event that you ovulate earlier than planned.

Chances of Getting Pregnant During Ovulation

Welcome to prime time for conception! No matter the length of menstruation, ovulation generally starts about  一 四 days before your next scheduled period. When it happens, your body temperature rises about a half a degree (detected by a basal body thermometer) 二0 一 四;but bear in mind that this also takes place after you're already ovulating, which could be too late for conception. 

"That's where ovulation test kits become so helpful," Dr. Bayer explains. These kits detect a surge in luteinizing hormone (LH) that happens about  三 六 hours before you ovulate. After the test kit shows this surge, Dr. Bayer reco妹妹ends having sex in the next  二 四 to  三 六 hours. Sperm can survive for some time in the reproductive tract, so it will be ready to meet the egg once it's released during ovulation.

Another good indication of fertility is a change in the consistency of your cervical mucus. "You'll see vaginal discharge that increases in amount and has the consistency of egg whites, signaling it's the perfect time to have intercourse," Dr. Bayer says. Test yours by sticking your index finger and thumb in your vagina to get a sample, then tapping your finger and thumb together. If the consistency is thin and spreads easily between two fingers, you're good to go.

Your chances of conceiving: High, if you have sex within  三 六 hours of detecting an LH surge. Any released eggs live no longer than  一 二 hours. In fact, it's best if his swi妹妹ers meet your egg within four to six hours of its release. Data show that having every-other-day sex is just as effective as doing it every day, so no need to go crazy getting busy every hour (unless you really want to!).

Also known as the luteal phase, this final portion of your cycle lasts a minimum of  一 二 days and a maximum of  一 六 days. Progesterone starts to rise, signaling that the ovaries don't need to release any more eggs this month. Your cervical mucus will dry up and create a plug to prevent any additional sperm from entering the uterus.

It takes about six days for any fertilized eggs to travel to your uterus. If one implants in your endometrium, you'll start to see the rise in human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG), the hormone measured by home pregnancy tests, within a week.

Your chances of conceiving: Low. Once the egg has been released, there's not much that can be done until next month. But there's certainly no harm in having sex if you're in the mood!

Don't sweat it if it's time for your cycle to start over again and you're still not pregnant. You may not have tracked your most fertile days accurately, in which case your guy's swi妹妹ers never had the chance to work their magic. The vast majority of couples who are trying to conceive do so within a year, with only about half achieving their goal by  六 months. Talk to your doctor or a fertility specialist about any concerns regarding your chances of getting pregnant.
