Get to know your ovulation and menstrual cycle

To give yourself the best chances of conceiving a baby, try to monitor your ovulation and menstrual cycle to determine your fertility window!


Here is some important information to better understand the cycle:


  • A normal cycle lasts 28 days.
  • Ovulation occurs around day 14.
  • The released egg can live up to 24 hours.
  • Your fertility window begins 4 days before ovulation.


To maximize your chances of conceiving, try to focus on the time between days 10 and 15 of your cycle.

So i had my first prenatal appointment This past Thursday and from my knowledge i should’ve been 7 weeks and five days pregnant, when the doctor did the ultrasound scan she said the baby was measuring 6 weeks and two days, so they push my due date back from December 10th to December 20 , it’s a little concerning and scary because I’m sure that I had my last menstrual cycle March 5th ,this is a planned pregnancy and I was charting my ovulation as well as my ministration on two different pregnancy apps , so I’m just wondering if my baby is measuring smaller and my weeks calculated from my last period is right , which I feel is the case because there’s no way I’m a whole week behind , it wouldn’t make sense plus it would have been no way to get a positive test three days after my messed period If I’m currently only six weeks

Ur situation sounds kinda like mine. So I should be 9wks yest bc my 1st day of my last cycle was 2/25, when I went on Tues to a new Doc (bc I moved) they are thinking that my baby stopped developing n that I'm gona miscarry bc they didnt see the fetal pole or heartbeat. So I called my old Doc n they got me in for another ultrasound n they said everything was there that should be even the lil flutter of a heartbeat n they think I'm like 6wks, maybe 7wks. Soooo of course I'm stressing the F out now. I go in this Fri (to my old Doc) so they can do all the measurements. N I think it's stupid they calculate ur due date from the 1st day of ur last cycle bc u don't conceive then, it's normally like 2wks later. I'm just praying my lil beaner is ok!

They have to do that because not everyone ovulates 2 weeks later. I have a very irregular cycle. My cycles aren’t 28 days usually. Some cycles Are 26 days and I’ve had cycles as much as 36 days. And if you have very regular cycles you don’t always ovulate 2 weeks after. Anything can effect your cycle making you ovulate early or late
