A member asked:

How many days before and after period is a girl of age 18 most fertile?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Fertile "Myrtle": A young woman at age 18 is "primetime" for reproduction and anytime after day 8 until the end of the menstrual cycle will do. The optimum time is day 12 until day 24 but remember a young woman can ovulate twice in a given cycle and therefore contraception is mandatory if pregnancy is not desired.
