Generally speaking, the most favorable days for conception are 6 and coincide with ovulation and the period immediately preceding it.During the ovulatory phase of the menstrual cycle, in fact, the egg cell (also called oocyte or oocyte) undergoes maturation and is released into the uterine tube where, if it meets the spermatozoa, it can be fertilized.
The time from the onset of menstruation to ovulation is on average 14 days, but there are individual variations that are important to consider when calculating the fertile period. Not all women have regular menstrual cycles.
After this premise, it is clear that knowing your own body rhythms and times is very important when trying to have a baby or want to avoid pregnancy.
In addition to paying attention to one's menstrual cycle with the calendar in hand, the correct interpretation of a series of signals sent by our body (such as changes in cervical mucus and the increase in basal temperature after ovulation) can help to:
- Identify the fertile period;
- Understanding when conception is most likely.
