A member asked:
When does a woman ovulate? when does her egg become available for fertilization?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Around Day 14 +/-: Most women ovulate around day 14 of their monthly cycle. The cycle starts on the first day of her period. This is day 1. Sperm can hang around waiting for the egg (ovulation) for up to 3 days after intercourse. There is some variation in all of this from couple to couple. Best wishes!
