How Your Cycle Affects Fertility

A typical menstrual cycle lasts around 28 days, though it can range anywhere from 21 to 35 days. Day one is the first day of your period. Ovulation—when your body releases an egg—usually happens around the middle of your cycle.

You’re most likely to get pregnant during your fertile window, which includes the five days before ovulation and the day of ovulation itself. This timing is because sperm can live in a woman’s body for up to five days, waiting for an egg to be released.

Signs You May Be Ovulating

Some women experience noticeable changes when they’re ovulating. These signs may include:

  • A change in cervical mucus (clear and stretchy, like egg whites)
  • A slight rise in body temperature
  • Mild pelvic cramping
  • Breast tenderness
  • Increased interest in intimacy

While not everyone notices these symptoms, tracking them can help you better understand your cycle. There are also ovulation prediction kits available if you want to better pinpoint your fertility window.

Do You Think You Might Be Pregnant?

If you’ve had unprotected sex during your fertile window and are wondering whether you’re pregnant, it’s a good idea to take a test. At the Acadiana Pregnancy Center, we provide free pregnancy testing in a safe, confidential setting. We’re here to help you get the answers you need and talk through your next steps.
