How long is the ovulation period?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
A few minutes: Ovulation is an event that lasts a few minutes, as the egg is released from the ovary. Preparation for ovulation and for pregnancy takes quite a bit longer before and after ovulation.

Few days: The peri-ovulatory period (time around ovulation) can be considered to last from the day lh surges through actual ovulation (36 hours roughly, ) or alternatively until Progesterone levels begins to rise (3-to-5 days.) literally, ovulation occurs at the one moment that an oocyte (egg) is released from a woman's ovary.
