FAQs on Ovulation
What is ovulation?
Ovulation is when an egg is released from one of your ovaries. The egg then travels down the fallopian tube, where it may be fertilized by sperm.
When will I ovulate?
Ovulation generally occurs in the middle of your menstrual cycle. The length of a menstrual cycle can range between 21 to 35 days. For an average 28-day cycle, ovulation takes place on the 14th day. However, this can vary. This is why it is very important to use an ovulation calculator and to track your symptoms.
How will I know I am ovulating?
You will know you are ovulating if there are changes to your basal body temperature, changes in your cervix and changes in your cervical fluid. Some women also experience bloating, breast tenderness and changes in appetite and mood.
What does ovulation feel like?
Ovulation can feel mildly uncomfortable in the form of light abdominal cramps. However, some women cannot feel ovulation.
How long does ovulation last?
Ovulation should typically last for 12-24 hours. During this time, if the egg is not fertilized, it disintegrates. However, a woman’s fertile window lasts up to six days, since sperm can live inside the body for 5 days. You can get pregnant if you have sexual intercourse between 5 days before you ovulate to a day after.
