A member asked:

How long does female egg stay during ovulation to be fertalized? is there a egg b4 ur period, during, n after ur period that u get pregnant anytime?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

24 Hours Max: If you are having menses around the same time every month, ovulation will occur about 14 days prior to your period. After you ovulate, it can hang around for up to 24 hours. It is long gone by the time you have a period. Best Wishes!
