A member asked:

If my cycles vary from 23-28 days evry month, do i go by the days of my last cycle for high fertility days?or will ovulation be different every month?

Specializes in Fertility Medicine

May be different: The day of ovulation may be different every month. Usually the best days for intercourse are the 5 days before ovulation. Intercourse after ovulation cannot achieve pregnancy. As a general rule in a normal 28 day cycle days 9-14 are the best days for intercourse.
