 Fertile window- what is it and how to find out, and why is it important?

Hello ladies! Are you trying to conceive? You must educate yourself about such an essential phase in your life. Many of us do not even understand our menstruation cycles properly, so let us take a deep breath and get started with understanding it once and for all. You will know the fertile window and the right time to have sex to fall pregnant once you learn about your menses properly.

Menstruation cycle and fertile window

Your menstruation cycle starts on the first day you begin bleeding until your next period starts. This cycle usually repeats after 23-35 days, averaging 28 days. There are the most fertile days between this cycle, around six, giving you the highest chance of conceiving. This is your fertile window when you can plan to have sex with your partner to fall pregnant. During this time, ovulation occurs, meaning your ovary releases an egg. This day and a few days before and after are considered appropriate to have intercourse with your partner as it potentially increases the chance of conception.

According to clinical guidelines, the average woman is potentially fertile between days 10 and 17 of her menstrual cycle, but recent studies show that the timing of the fertile window is variable; more than 70% of women are in their fertile window before day 10 or after day 17 of their menstrual cycle.

How would you find out your fertile window?

See, keeping track of your ovulation period is vital to find out your fertile window. There are a few methods which you can use.

Counting your fertile days manually.

Generally, it is assumed that ovulation occurs 14 days before the next menses begin. But, studies show that it can vary.

Calculate it online with an ovulation calculator

To calculate it accurately, you can take the help of online ovulation calculators. You need to keep track of your recent menstruation cycles and provide these inputs to the calculator.

Taking Luteinising Hormone(LH) test

There is a surge in LH levels during ovulation as LH triggers the release of an egg from the ovaries. You can get ovulation kits from medical stores. It helps you check LH levels in urine. You should check your LH levels before two-three days of the day you expect your ovulation to happen so that you can notice the surge.

Why is it important?

The fertile window helps you decide when and when not to have sex.

Infertility concerns might get a solution in some cases.

Eggs and sperms only live for a limited time after their release, so knowledge about your fertile window is essential.
