The period in which sexual intercourse can lead to pregnancy is called the "fertile window" and has a maximum duration of six days.
The moment of maximum fertility coincides with ovulation, ie when a mature egg is released from the ovary, moves along the fallopian tube and is available to be fertilized. Even the days immediately preceding this event are favorable to conception, as they prepare the "ground" for a possible pregnancy (pre-ovulatory phase).
When you want a baby, therefore, one factor to consider is the timing of sexual intercourse versus ovulation.
To understand when conception is more likely, it is essential to be familiar with the course of your menstrual cycle and identify the fertile window in advance. To this end, it may be helpful to monitor the signals that precede ovulation and evaluate the statistics of the previous cycles.
