One of your ovaries will release an egg (ovulation) about 14 days before your period starts. The first day of your period, when you start bleeding, is counted as the first day of your cycle. If you have a 28-day cycle, you | ll usually ovulate some time between day 10 and day 15 of your cycle.

During your period an egg is usually developing, ready for release mid-cycle. The time it takes for an egg to mature within the ovary can vary. This means that the day you ovulate can also vary from cycle to cycle.

Having a short cycle and a longer period could increase your likelihood of getting pregnant just after your period. If your cycle is short, 22 days for example, then you could ovulate just days after your period, if your period lasted seven days. The longest that sperm can survive in fertile cervical mucus is seven days. So it may just be possible for you to get pregnant if you ovulate a little earlier than usual.

However, it is more likely that sperm will have a life span of two to three days, even less if there is no fertile cervical fluid. Most pregnancies happen after sex within the five days before, and on the day of, ovulation.

To conceive, your egg needs to be fertilised within 12 hours to 24 hours of ovulation.

It | s also possible to mistake breakthrough bleeding, which is spotting between your periods, for a regular period. So you could experience bleeding during your fertile time. If you are experiencing bleeding between your periods, you should tell your GP.
