Patient's question:
What day of the 30-day menstrual cycle is best for getting pregnant?Doctor's answer:
Hello:The ovulation date for women is generally about 14 days before the next menstrual period. After the egg is released from the ovary, it can survive in the fallopian tube for 1-2 days, waiting for fertilization; male sperm can maintain fertilizing ability in a woman's reproductive tract for 2-3 days, so sexual intercourse during the days before and after ovulation is more likely to result in pregnancy. For safety, we refer to the 5 days before ovulation, the 4 days after ovulation, and ovulation itself as a total of 10 days, known as the fertile window. Because sexual intercourse during the fertile window is more likely to result in pregnancy, it is also called the fertile period or the risky period.
