Specializes in General Practice

Ovulation: I would be very curious to have you define what you mean by the word 'ovulation'. Ovulation is an event. It is the moment when the prepared egg is pushed out of the ovary in preparation for impregnation. This moment is often felt by females. Not sure what you mean by 'days'.
