Your Fertility Window
The fertility window is the 6-day period when pregnancy is possible: the 5 days before ovulation plus ovulation day. Pregnancy is most likely when intercourse occurs in the 3 days leading up to and including ovulation, with the highest rates 1-2 days before ovulation.
Peak Fertility Days
The 3 days with highest conception probability are the 2 days before ovulation and ovulation day itself. During these peak days, conception rates are 20-30% per cycle for healthy couples. Outside this window, conception is unlikely or impossible.
Timing Intercourse
Every other day during the fertile window is sufficient (daily is fine too). Quality matters more than frequency - save energy for peak days. Use ovulation tests to confirm timing. Stress and excessive planning can reduce fertility, so balance tracking with relaxation.
