Explanation
In a typical menstrual cycle of 28 days, the most likely fertile period, when a woman is more likely to conceive, is around the middle of the cycle. Ovulation, the release of a mature egg from the ovary, typically occurs approximately 14 days before the start of the next menstrual period in a 28-day cycle. Ovulation usually occurs around day 14 in a 28-day cycle, but it can vary. This is the most fertile period, as the egg is released and can be fertilized by sperm.
