GETTING PREGNANT
If you want to get pregnant, it helps to know when your fertile days are. Your menstrual cycle is a good guide for this. An average menstrual cycle lasts between 24 and 35 days, counted from the first day of your period to the first day of your next period. In a 28-day cycle, ovulation often takes place on day 14. In a longer cycle, ovulation also often takes place later. You are fertile from 3 days before to 1 day after ovulation. To get pregnant, you don’t need to have sex excessively often during that time. Every 2 to 3 days is enough, because sperm can survive for several days. If you have regular periods and regular sex, 80% of couples are pregnant within 1 year.
